More About Yin Yoga
It is a nourishing and grounding practice, with poses held between 3 to 10 minutes each with a focus on floor based postures. This allows a deep release of tension in the connective tissues to help improve flexibility and create a feeling of space and freedom in your body. Because of its slow, meditative nature, Yin can be both mentally and physically challenging at times as well as deeply relaxing.
Yin yoga is a slow and mindful practice and works from a place of calm and surrender, encouraging us to embrace our gentler yin nature, cultivating inner body awareness and noticing the different sensations that arise.
Suitable for all levels, it is a practice for all body shapes, sizes and ages and a perfect compliment to your more yang practices.
With so much of our attention turned outwards in these busy modern times, the practice of Yin yoga invites you to find balance and create space by bringing your attention inwards and tuning into your body.
Slow down, let go, create space and tune in.
