Yin Yoga focuses on the slow, gentle, opening of the fascial layer of the body. The fascia is the connective tissue under the skin, which wraps the muscles, and holds the body together. Over time, chronic tightness of the fascia causes stiffness and inflexibility, restricting mobility and energy flow. Most of the postures are done seated or lying down and focus on opening the back, hips and hamstrings.
