Candlelit Yin

About the Class

<em> Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat, and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles. Yin Yoga generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. During this non-heated class, we hold postures for longer periods of time in a very passive and receptive way. Most postures are also done seated or prone on your mat. Yin Yoga can help to target specific tissues like fascia and connective tissue, increase circulation, and encourage more mobility. Yin yoga can also be practiced in a way that the slower, more gentle approach encourages internal awareness practices like meditation, contemplation, or pranayama (breath practices). While initially this style of yoga can seem quite passive, or soft, yin practice can be quite challenging due to the long duration of the poses.</em> Class is unheated. Room temp is 70-75
