About Yin Yoga

This gentle practice enhances circulation and flexibility by targeting the body’s connective tissues, particularly in the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. Yin Yoga is characterized by holding poses for extended periods, allowing time and gravity to deepen the experience and optimize the stretch in these vital areas. This mindful approach encourages participants to slow down, remain present, and explore their physical sensations while achieving a greater sense of relaxation and mental clarity. The practice promotes internal stillness, aiding in the release of both physical and emotional tension.
