Indulge in a sanctuary of stillness and surrender with our Yin Yoga class, a gentle and introspective practice that invites you to explore the profound benefits of longer-held, passive postures. This class is suitable for all levels, offering a serene and meditative space for those seeking deep release and restoration.

Class Focus

Yin Yoga focuses on the principles of stillness, patience, and letting go. In this class, we target the deep connective tissues of the body, promoting flexibility, relaxation, and a sense of inner balance. Poses are held for an extended duration, allowing for a gentle and therapeutic stretch that reaches beyond the muscles to access the fascia and joints.

Key Elements

1. Long Holds: Embrace the art of holding poses for an extended period, typically ranging from 3 to 5 minutes. This sustained engagement allows for a gradual and mindful release of tension in the body.
2. Connective Tissue Release: Experience a gentle yet profound stretch that targets the deep connective tissues, including ligaments, tendons, and fascia. This encourages increased flexibility and joint mobility.
3. Mindful Awareness: Cultivate a heightened sense of awareness and presence as you move into each pose. The practice encourages mindfulness, deepening the mind-body connection and promoting relaxation.
4. Breath and Meditation: Utilize the breath as a focal point for relaxation, and integrate guided meditation to enhance the meditative aspects of the practice. Explore moments of stillness and quiet reflection.
