Mind

This yoga class is gentle, relaxing, and passive in style. Gentle stretch poses are held for extended periods of time while being mindful of your breathing. The assistance of props (bolsters, pillows, blankets, and straps) is encouraged, if needed, making it easier to completely let-go within the pose in order to release tension and stress.

Yin Yoga is a slow-paced practice focused on applying moderate stress to the connective tissues – tendons, fascia, and ligaments – with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. Most stretches and poses are mat-based and tend to be held for longer periods of time. This meditative approach to yoga helps cultivate awareness of one’s inner stillness.
