Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is a quiet contemplative practice that targets the connective tissues – ligaments, joints, bones, the deep fascia networks of the body, and the meridians through extended holds of postures. This is in contrast to more a dynamic, ‘Yang’ practice, such as Vinyasa yoga which creates heat and strength in the muscles. In yin Yoga, the poses are held for 3 to 10 minutes, with the muscles fully relaxed, allowing time and gravity to deepen the stretch and target the fascia. The time spent holding these asanas is similar to meditation. All levels are welcome.
