Yin yoga is a slow-paced, mindful style of yoga in which the postures are held for longer periods of time, ranging from 2 to 5 minutes. We incorporate the use of props like bolster pillows to allow the body to stretch passively. In yin yoga, time is more important than intensity. Yin postures apply moderate stress to the connective tissues of the body i.e. the tendons, fascia, and ligaments, with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. Practitioners are encouraged to establish their own “edge” in every pose, and to work within the limitations of their own bodies, find stillness and observe whatever arises.

Not suitable if you are in your first trimester of pregnancy or have hyper mobility. Please inform the teacher if you have any pain.
