Yin

About this event

Yin yoga is a slower-paced more restorative type of yoga. This practice of yoga starts with meditation, to get grounded and connected with self. In Yin yoga, the poses are held for longer periods of time (typically three to five minutes of longer) to target connective tissues (such as ligaments and tendons) rather than focus on the muscles as most of our active (yang) yoga practices do. Students will hold 5-6 postures with the muscles fully relaxed, allowing time and gravity to deepen the stretch and target the fascia. This class ends with a longer more meditative shavasana. This class is 75 minutes.
