<p>For a completely integrated practice this class combines both the cooling and deep opening “Yin” poses with a strong, heating “Yang” flow. 20 min yin, 35 min yang, 15 min yin. Due to fast pace yang flow this class is not for beginners. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Through passive stretches, with minimum muscle engagement, the Yin postures are held for longer periods of time (3-5 min) and target the yin parts of the body (connective tissues, joints and bones), which do not respond well to dynamic movements. The static and quiet aspects of yin also allows for a meditative mindset and a calmer nervous system.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The Yang postures are the regular dynamic Hatha or Vinyasa flow, which target the yang parts of the body: muscles, skin and blood. The Yang postures emphasize the internal heat, strengthening and lengthening of the muscles. </p>
