STUDIO: YIN Deep Stretch

About the Class

Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga as exercise, incorporating principles of traditional Chinese medicine, with asanas (postures) that are held for longer periods of time than in other styles. Yin Yoga stretches and targets both the deep connective tissues between the muscles, and the fascia throughout the body. The aim is to increase circulation in the joints and improve flexibility. This blocks the flow of nutrients and energy through the body, causing pain and limiting mobility. Yin Yoga offers a great way to begin a yoga practice, one that can branch out in many directions, one that can last for the rest of your life. Yes, beginners definitely can start their yoga journey with Yin Yoga. Classes are taught in a non-heated room with low lights, creating a zen-like experience. The postures are more passive, on the floor, where gravity wins, teaching you to surrender and let go.
