Anne Hainsworth has practised yoga for more than 30 years. She studied and trained in Yin yoga with Sarah Powers at the Kripalu Yoga Centre in Stockbridge, Massachusetts and Bernie Clark in Vancouver. Each of her classes focus on a specific area of the body and the postures that follow complement this intention. She leads the students into each posture while applying the three main principles of Yin: finding your appropriate edge, finding stillness, and remaining in the posture for (usually) three to five minutes while focusing on breathing. Anne finds a quiet, meditative Yin practice compliments an active Yang yoga practice or other energetic activities. When Yin is practised in the evening it also helps promote a good night's sleep.
