Yin Yoga is a slower-paced, more meditative version of the popular physical and spiritual discipline of yoga. In Yin yoga, the poses are held for a long period of time (typically three to five minutes or longer) to target the connective tissues (such as the ligaments) rather than focusing on the muscles. As a result, the asanas are more passive holds, with little muscular engagement.
We invite you to consider the three tenets of Yin Yoga: find your edge where you can feel the stretch but without straining; remain still; and allow yourself to stay for a while It’s a simple practice with profound therapeutic benefits for longevity, vitality, flexibility, and more.
If flexibility is your concern this is the class that will give you a full body stretch from shoulders to toes. Perfect as a compliment to a power class, or any type of physical exertion. Yin will get you grounded, relaxed, and ready for the best sleep of your week.
