Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is the other half of modern Western Yoga practice. Traditional Hatha and Vinyasa classes are focused on the muscular or "yang" tissues of the body. Yin Yoga allows us to work on the "yin" tissues of our ligaments, joints, bones, and deep fascial layers. Yin Yoga classes are slower paced with fewer poses, almost all of which are floor based. You will hold each pose for a longer period of time, anywhere from 2 to 8 minutes. The use of tools such as bolsters, blocks, blankets, straps and even the wall will be part of the practice. These tools will allow you to come into a pose where you are comfortable and settle in as you rest there. Breath and stillness are important parts of Yin and you will be guided to use your breath to help you release and find stillness and comfort in each pose.
