Yin Yoga

Yin yoga is a slower, meditative form of yoga designed to create space for you to turn inward and tune into your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Yin yoga focuses on stretching and releasing tension in the deep muscle tissues while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts.

In a yin yoga practice, you can expect to hold poses for anywhere from 3-5 minutes while also learning how to release energy blockages throughout your body. Most of the yin yoga poses are focused on areas that surround or encompass a joint. Despite the fact that yin yoga is gentle, there are still some things you should be aware of before you begin a yin yoga practice.
