Yin yoga is the opposite of our Yang lifestyle. This style of yoga includes longer holds focused on range of motion in the hips and torso. In Yin yoga, you are asked to relax in the posture, soften the muscle and move closer to the bones while accessing the deeper connective tissue and fascia. Many of the postures focus on an area that encompass a joint (hip and sacral). These passive, longer holds strengthen and hydrate the joint tissue.
Although occasionally we may explore a standing pose or two, you mostly can expect floor poses held in stillness. By moving slowly through our yoga practice, we can be careful and deliberate in how we place ourselves. You will leave feeling warmed, relaxed and rejuvenated!
