Why Yin Yoga? Yin is a deeply therapeutic practice that targets the myofascia (connective tissues) to release physical tension; improve flexibility and range of motion; and deeply relax the nervous system. As a result, we restore balance in our internal organs, reduce inflammation and stress, improve sleep, increase energy and clarity, and feel restored – which all play an important role in bolstering our wellbeing. Yin Yoga is a more meditative based practice, inviting us to cultivate greater balance, relaxation and surrender into our lives. Poses are floor based and passively held for typically between 3-5min, allowing time to truly surrender into the poses and explore.
