What is Yin Yoga

Yin is a Taoist concept, which relates to the yin and yang which we know to be the two oppositions that exist in everything. Yin is stable, it is static, it is the hidden aspect of things. Yang is more about movement and change. The connective tissues in our body such as tendons, ligaments, and joint capsules are considered yin. So a yin yoga class is going to consist of poses held for a long time. You will spend a lot of time on the floor, mostly focusing on the lower part of the body such as the hips, pelvis, lower spine and thighs. They are the areas of the body that have a lot of connective tissues. Many of the poses in Yin yoga will be held for at least five minutes.

The food standard is very high on the island of Ibiza and Catarina is one of the best.

“Those who have the chance of sitting at a table and eat food prepared with such love and commitment are aware that they’ve reached a different, higher level of understanding about the meaning of ‘pleasure of eating’”

“Wow… simply Wow. Not only is the food amazing, but the heart of the owner is felt in all of her yummy creations.”

“You are divine, your food is divine…!”
