Yin Yoga is a style of yoga in which each asana is held for an extended period of time. This opens the connective tissues of the body, increasing circulation and flexibility. This practice of yoga requires students to be ready to get intimate with the self, with feelings, sensations, and emotions, something that can be easy to miss in a fast-paced yoga practice.

overview

Yin Yoga is a style of yoga in which each passive asana (posture) is held for an extended period of time (5 minutes or more per pose is typical). In a faster paced vinyasa class we often miss connecting with the posture, breath and deeper muscles. Yin yoga applies emphasis to slowing down and holding passive stretches in the postures. This in turn opens the connective tissues of the body, tendons, fascia and ligaments, increasing circulation and flexibility.

This intimate practice of yoga requires students to be ready to get intimate with the self, with feelings, sensations, and emotions, something that can be easy to miss in a fast-paced yoga practice. Yin Yoga is often engaged in programs for addictions, eating disorders, anxiety and deep pain or trauma, as well as simply for deep relaxation and opening of the body and mind.
