Yin yoga, a quiet and contemplative practice, works into our body on a very deep level. By holding floor poses passively and for longer periods (3-5 minutes), the connective tissues of the body - the ligaments, joints, bones, the deep fascial networks - are targeted. When attention is given to the connective tissue, circulation is increased, joint mobility is improved, and overall energy flow is refined, enhancing the flow of chi in the organs. And with an emphasis on mindfulness, each pose can be treated as a mini meditation, encouraging deeper relaxation and calming the mind/body.
This all-levels yoga class invites you to slow down, connect with your breath, and cultivate greater presence in body and mind. Drawing from both mindful movement and Yin Yoga, we'll explore a balanced practice that supports strength, mobility, flexibility, and relaxation. Emphasis is placed on awareness, self-compassion, and honoring your own experience.
