A passive practice, Yin Yoga complement more active styles of
exercise (power yoga, running, cycling, crossfit). It involves
variations of seated and supine poses typically held for 3 to 5
minutes, accessing deeper layers of fascia (connective
tissues).
This
class is appropriate for beginners to advanced practitioners. It is
effective for people who really need and want to slow
down from the stressful pace of their lives. While the end
result is relaxation, yin is about being in sensation and sometimes
we “stay” with strong feelings in the body and emotions. Props are
used on occasion but this is not
restorative yoga.
