Experience our exclusive yoga clinic with breathtaking views of the Palace roofs, Nieuwe Kerk, and Bijenkorf. This unique session integrates yin and yang principles from Taoism and Tantra philosophy, complemented by a specially crafted tea blend.
Tao Yin Yoga draws from Taoist concepts of yin and yang—opposing forces essential for balance. Yang embodies masculine energy, movement, activity, and heat; yin represents feminine qualities, stillness, stability, passivity, and coolness.
In practice, yang yoga involves dynamic flows between poses. Yin Yoga, however, is a gentle, passive approach. Poses are held softly for several minutes with patience and kindness, targeting connective tissues and joints. It's also a profound mental training: enduring poses confronts the mind while fostering deep relaxation. Success comes not from force, but from surrender.
Tantra
In the West, we often prioritize yang over yin. Renowned Dutch yogi Anat shares expert insights on embracing yin for physical, mental, and emotional equilibrium. She guides you through the profound connection between Yin Yoga and the chakras, rooted in ancient Tantra traditions.
