About Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is based on ancient Chinese philosophies, where we are said to have pathways of energy that run through our bodies. By stretching and deepening into poses, it allows us to open any blockages in our body allowing energy to flow more freely.
In this form of yoga postures are held for anything from 3 to 5 minutes. A deeper stretch focuses on lengthening the muscles and deeper connective tissues. The slower more meditative state allows you to learn to breathe through discomfort and tune in to both body and mind.
The breath work involved in Yin Yoga is critical. When discomfort arises, it is essential to focus on the breath to help with relaxing. Many of us live fast paced lives and slowing down life with a yin class in a more meditative manner, is a great compliment to the fast pace of life.
