You might have heard about Yin Yoga, but don’t quite know
what it is. It can be described in many ways. Some say it is yoga for the
joints; others describe it as a compliment to your yang practice. A yang yoga
practice is faster paced and targets the muscle. Yin yoga involves long holds
that target the connective tissue and fascia of the hips, pelvis, and lower
spine. The poses are usually more passive and allow your practice to dig
deeper, and even create a meditative state.
There are many benefits to yin. It regulates the energy in
the body while increasing mobility. It lowers stress levels while providing
your joints more lubrication and protection. Yin creates a calming balance to
the body and mind and can aid in increasing your stamina. Practicing yin on a
regular basis helps create an overall balance to your yoga practice.
To learn more about Yin and experience it first hand, join
us Saturday, January 31st from 2:00-3:30pm. This class can help you
