Yin Yoga is a slow-moving, soothing, and calming style of yoga that incorporates principles of traditional Chinese medicine where the practitioner holds passive and relaxing yoga postures for an extended time. By leaning into these sensations, this style of yoga targets the deep connective tissues, bones, joints, fascia, and ligaments in the body. Yin is a beautiful compliment to a more active and muscular focused Yang Yoga practice, and helps really balance and align the body systems. The benefits of a Yin Yoga practice are many and not limited to reducing stress, increasing circulation, reducing tension, improving flexibility, increasing circulation, and encouraging mindfulness and meditation. Additionally Yin Yoga can lead to greater physiological and psychological overall well-being.
