Yin yoga poses apply moderate stress to the connective tissues—the tendons, fascia, and ligaments—with the aim to help increase circulation in the joints and improve flexibility. In a Yin Yoga shape, we want to feel a stretch or compression, significant enough to promote change, but mild enough so the body can relax. The alignment is found through ones own experience of feeling into the target area and choosing an edge that is appropriate for them.
Our Yin classes are perfect for anyone seeking balance from busy, active lifestyles; athletes looking to improve recovery; those dealing with stiffness or limited mobility; or anyone wanting to cultivate a deeper meditation practice.
