This 75-minute class is held in a gently warmed environment
(80-85 degrees). It is appropriate for all levels of practice. Yin
involves fewer postures than a traditional class, all quite basic
(primarily seated or supine), which are held for longer periods of
time (typically 1-2 minutes). Emphasis is placed on the quality of
breath, remaining with a personal intention, and focusing on the
present moment. Yin is more challenging mentally than physically as
it requires a willingness to gently explore areas of tension and
tightness, and above all, to quiet the mind. You do NOT need to be
flexible to benefit from this class. With determination,
dedication, and repetition, you will be amazed by the benefits of a
Yin yoga practice. It will not only transform the other aspects of
your yoga practice, but will benefit all the activities that you
enjoy and help offset the sedentary aspect of much of our modern
daily lifestyle.
