Yin yoga is a slow paced practice, with postures that are held for 3 -5 minutes in mostly seated or laying down positions, allowing the body to slowly release tension and penetrate the deeper connective tissues (tendons, fascia, and ligaments) as well as the energetic systems of the body, bringing the body into balance and increasing it’s natural range of motion. Yin yoga improves flexibility, circulation in the joints, the flow of qi; the subtle energy that runs through the meridian pathways of the body, which in turn helps improve organ health, immunity and emotional well-being. With this practice you will feel refreshed, renewed and restored.
