Good to Know

A Warm Welcome to Balanced Yin Yoga. 😊

 

Balanced Yin Yoga offers a slower, more mindful approach to movement and rest. Classes are designed to support nervous system regulation, mobility, recovery, and overall wellbeing in a welcoming and non-competitive environment.

 

Whether you're new to yoga or have an established practice, the intention is to provide a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, reconnect, and feel at ease.

 

Before Your First Visit

If it's your first class, arriving 10–15 minutes early is recommended. This allows time to settle in, ask any questions, and prepare for practice without feeling rushed.

If you are pregnant, recovering from an injury, or have any health concerns that may affect your practice, please get in touch before class so appropriate guidance can be offered.

 

Booking Classes

Advance booking is recommended for all classes and can be completed through the online booking system. A confirmation email will be sent once your booking is complete.

Single-class bookings and class passes are available. Pricing, pass options, and validity periods can be found in the booking system.

Drop-in spaces may be available on the day of class; however, availability cannot be guaranteed. Please note that drop-in attendance is charged at a higher rate than advance online bookings.

 

Yin Yoga & Yoga Nidra classes are held in English.

Chair Yoga for Seniors are held in Finnish.
