Studio - Yin Yoga: Deep Stretching

About this event

While more active practices or “yang” yoga focuses on your muscles, yin yoga targets your deep connective tissues, like your fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. The slower pace and long holds in the class allow a more meditative experience, giving you time to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Because you’re holding poses for 3-5 minutes, it gives the chance to move past the muscles and lengthen those rarely-used tissues. The practice of yin yoga is based on ancient Chinese philosophies and Taoist principles which believe there are pathways of Qi (energy) that run through our bodies. By stretching and deepening into poses, we’re opening up any blockages and releasing that energy to flow freely.
