Somatic Yin: Studio or Online
A slow Monday-evening practice in Bern that combines gentle movement, attentive breathing and meditation. Joëlle von Arx guides the class with an emphasis on sensing the body and meeting the moment without forcing.
Why it caught our eye
A clearly described, accessible Yin practice with a strong focus on body awareness and a flexible studio-or-online format.
What you can expect
The 75-minute session moves gently and leaves time to settle into sensation, breath and stillness. The source presents it as a hybrid class, so you can join at Yoga Atelier Bern or online. It is taught by Joëlle von Arx and is listed for all levels.
Good to know before you go
Each Monday date is booked separately; no full-series commitment is required. The regular drop-in price is CHF 35; first-time visitors can instead book three classes for CHF 60, and qualifying reductions are available. Studio booking is required because places are limited. Mats, blocks, straps and blankets are provided; wear comfortable clothes and bring water. The booking page is in German, and the organiser does not state the spoken language separately.
What this is
Somatic Yin makes room for a quieter kind of practice. Rather than chasing an external shape, the class uses unhurried movement, breath awareness and meditation to notice what is present and respond with care.
