Yin
Yin yoga works heavily with the connective tissues of the body. Yin focuses on fascia, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules, bones, and beyond.
This emphasis on the “yin” tissues of the body means that the practice moves slowly and subtly to efficiently target these “deeper” parts of the physical form. And with long holds of every pose, the practice can more effectively target connective tissues.
Also, by working with postures that deliberately create compression in different parts of the body, it is believed that yin yoga helps to stimulate bone density growth as well as stronger and more organized fascia.

Ghosh Yoga
Ghosh Yoga, passed down from Bishnu Charan Ghosh, is the foundation on which Bikram's 26+2 sequence was built. Like the 26+2 sequence, Ghosh postures are held in stillness and followed by a period of relaxation and muscular release before moving onto the next posture. In the Ghosh tradition, the selection and sequence of postures is not fixed and can be adapted to meet a variety of goals and needs.
This class will consist of breathing exercises and a rigorous set of postures designed to build strength, flexibility alignment, and healing.
