Description

Each Yin pose is the opportunity to crawl into ourselves and stay awhile!In Yin Yoga, we rest passively in postures for two to five minutes, or longer, for a deeply relaxing experience that leaves us feeling more comfortable in our body and more at ease in the world. Yin Yoga stresses fascia beneficially while simultaneously supporting the health of mind and body by targeting the meridians of all the major organ systems. Yin is a slow, soothing style of yoga that targets the deep connective tissues of the pelvis, hips and spine.
