This style of yoga focuses on the connective tissues of the body with an emphasis on opening the hips and spine, as well as clearing the energetic channels of the body (meridians). This class will include pranayama (breathing exercise) and deep relaxation at the end.

Yin Yoga is very grounding and nourishing, excellent for those who experience stress and anxiety or simply need to recharge their batteries. It soothes and awakens your whole being. This style of yoga benefits the physical body by freeing up the tight connective tissue capsules that form around the muscles and joints. As the body ages this tightening increases creating limited mobility. The moisture that keeps the joints lubricated begins to dry up and the body takes on a brittle quality often associated with old age. This physical aging is not just due to natural aging but lack of addressing the tissues that are responsible for maintain the agility of the joints. When people say Yoga Keeps you young, they are referring to the suppleness of the joints and whole body due to the moisture stimulating stretches of a practice. Yin Yoga aims to work on this directly. The psychological and emotional benefits of a Yin Practice are enormously healing for the entire wellbeing of the practitioner. The long holds in a single still Yin posture becomes a time of inner reflection, meditation and peace. The nervous system is calmed, the mind stilled, and in this state the body returns to its natural healthy rhythm.
