Yin Yoga Class (12/Nov)

not all yoga poses can be done effectively—or safely—as yin poses.

Call/SMS us to book for your mat on

Every Wednesday & Friday (0900am-1030am) 
a special 1.5hr YIN & Yang Yoga Class
at Yoga Plus Studio


Today's Special:  

(1) Deer Pose
stretching your Kidney, Liver and Spleen meridians


(2) Pigeon Pose (B)
Stretches the thighs, groins and psoas, abdomen, chest and shoulders, and neck
Stimulates the abdominal organs
Opens the shoulders and chest




(3) Sleeping Swan
The Sleeping Swan tugs on the outer hips, which tugs on your Gallbladder meridian! It also places additional pressure on the inner leg and groin to nourish the Liver meridian.
By stimulating your Gallbladder and Liver meridians, through the self-acupressure of this pose, you are better able to notice your inner energy regarding feelings of anger. It is important to have a healthy gall bladder and liver energy to support your muscles and tendons, so noticing any emotions arising in this pose is important to your overall health and well-being. The opening of energy movement or "chi" through your gallbladder and liver meridians will also help with your ability to feel compassion to yourself and others.





Our Teachers

Sally Phang - Founder & Owner of Yoga Plus 

My first lesson of Yoga as a pure Beginner happened in year 2001 and ever since my first lesson, I LOVE IT!!!   Practices made Perfect ~~ It took me 6 years to explore, to understand, to experience and to feel  ~~ What is Yoga?   

Sally completed her 200-hrs Yoga Teacher Training in Singapore in year 2007, followed by a 30-hrs YIN Yoga TTC with Victor Chng, founder of Yin Yoga in Asia.  In year 2008, she advanced her teaching by completing a Yoga Dance TTC with Jacq Ho, founder of Ysynergy Malaysia.

Her passion and enthusiasm even gets more excited which guided her moving forward to Family & Birthing Yoga. Thus, she obtained another Diploma Certification in Baby & Toddle Yoga with Birthlight UK in year 2008 and pair up with another Certification in Pre-Natal & Post-Natal Yoga Teacher Training with Master Saumik Bera, founder of Real Yoga Singapore.

She loves deep stretching of YIN, the freedom of flow & twist twist, also has a strong core of standing balancing poses.  Whereas it is a totally different bonding time with babies & toddler, we strongly demonstrated to parents by doing yoga with their babies through TOUCH, FEEL & VOICE (songs) as early as 2 months old.

You will be inspired by her strong inspiration, passion and guidance, love and peace, care and joy together during her classes.  A practice a day absolutely changes not only to physical development, flexibility but it helps to improve strength, self-awareness mentally as well as spiritually.

Class Descriptions:

Yoga for Beginner
This is ideal for those who have never done yoga before. It is a good introduction to Yoga, using basic and gentle stretches that work every part of the body. Suitable for first timer.

Gentle & Stretch
This style of yoga is suitable for beginnersIt is far less strenuous than other forms of hatha yoga. It is beneficial to you who are already quite fit but lack the overall flexibility to be able to do more intense yoga poses. Gentle yoga accomplishes its goals of providing a workout without putting any unnecessary strain on you.

Yin Yoga
A quiet yet profound style of yoga based on the expression of theories derived from Chinese Medicine and Taoism. Yin Yoga uses long-held relaxed floor postures to stretch and stimulate the deep connective "Yin" tissues of the body. Accessible to practitioners of any tradition and any experience level, this practice strengthens chi flow and maintains the health of the meridian system of the body, and is the ideal complement to dynamic, muscular or "Yang" forms of yoga.

Yoga Therapy
This is a very low impact class without a heavy focus on strengthening poses, demanding twists or back bending poses. All the poses are basic, with simple stretching and twisting designed to strengthen target muscles and loosening tightness on various joint areas. It is particularly helpful for recovering from illnesses and ailments such as back pain, knee pain, cervical pain, arthritis, hypertension, diabetes, asthma, insomnia, menstrual disorders, weak memory, migraine any many other ailments. Yoga Therapy is highly adaptable to accommodate the needs of different conditions and physical disabilities.

Hatha Yoga
Beginner and intermediate classes are available. Poses ranges from novice-level to those that can challenge even an experienced practitioner.
It combines physical exercise and mental discipline, with the goal of integrating and invigorating both body and mind. It has been shown that Hatha Yoga reduces stress, improve balance and flexibility, increase strength and reduce the risk of injury in daily life. It can reduce heart rate and blood pressure, and can help manage chronic diseases. Its psychological benefits can assist in weight loss by helping you to control appetite.

Hatha Flow
Links traditional Hatha postures into a sequence of movements that flow naturally from one to the next. This eclectic class will explore variations of sun salutations, standing and seated poses along with body balancing. Modifications will be provided for postures to enhance flexibility, alignment and strength to make this class accessible for all. Connecting the breath with the movement of the body during the “flow” of yoga and deepening into the stretch allows energy to flow and provides relaxation for the busy mind.

Yoga Flow
This is a series of flow that has the combination of Hatha, Power and Vinyasa style. It is perfect for the practitioner who prefers a faster pace and a more challenging practice. With cardio and endurance as the focus it also incorporates strengthening poses such as basic arm balances, standing balancing, twisting. Different variations of sun salutations are also explored.

Slimming Yoga
A dynamic & energetic form which basically stimulates core parts in our body. It physically and mentally challenges the practitioners to connect to an inner power. Core Yoga helps heal, detoxify and rouse the body and mind. It mostly emphasis on abs, back, hips and pelvis.

Yoga Dance
Yoga + Dance help us to access and free up stored energy. Music & movement access deep levels of emotion.

  • Can help with sciatica.


YANG pose ~ A beautiful twist - Dove


YIN ~ preparing for Dragonfly
Benefits:
  • Opens the hips, groin, and the back of thighs;
  • Also provides a gentle opening to inner knees;
  • Stimulates the ovaries
Meridians & Organs Affected:
  • Urinary Bladder on back of legs and on the back, and the Liver and Kidney lines through the groin and the Spleen through the inner knees;
  • The twisting version will stimulate the Gall Bladder along the side of the torso.


Dragon Splits pose with a simple twist....
  1. "Dragon Splits" - the deepest stretch for hip flexors. Straighten both legs into the splits. Student can support the front hip with a bolster under the buttock, for balance and to release weight; this relaxes the muscles. Student can sit up tall or fold forward for different sensations;


YIN ~ Butterfly
Benefits:
A nice way to stretch the lower back without requiring loose hamstrings;

  • If the legs are straighter and the feet are farther away from the groin, the hamstrings will get more of a stretch. If the feet are in closer to the groin, the adductor muscles get stretched more;
  • This is good for the kidneys and the prostrate gland and highly recommends this pose for people suffering urinary problems;
  • It removes "heaviness in the testicles and is a boon to women … to regulate periods, ovaries function properly and make delivery easier
  • Ok for pregnant women, as the legs are abducted, providing space for the belly
Meridians & Organs Affected:
  • The Gall Bladder lines on the outside of the legs as well as the Urinary Bladder lines running along the spine in the lower back;
  • If the feet are in close to the groin and a stretch is felt in the inner thighs, the Kidney and Liver lines are being stimulated.



Yang ~ Inclined Plank


YIN ~ Swan pose

Benefits:
  • A vigorous way to open the hips, allowing gravity to do the work. This is a strong external rotation of front hip (especially in the image shown). Will also provide a quadricep and hip flexor stretch for the side that has the leg back;
  • A moderate to strong back bend, compressing the lower back;
  • This posture can control sexual desires due to lots of blood flowing through the pubic region.
Meridians & Organs Affected:

  • Liver and Kidney lines because these lines come through the inner groin; the Stomach and Spleen meridians (from the line on the top of the back leg); the Gall Bladder line on outer leg and the Urinary Bladder line through lumbar arch.
