Mostly done on the floor, Yin targets our deepest tissues of the body; our connective tissues, ligaments, joints, bones, and the deep fascia networks of the body, rather than the muscles. Poses are held for 3-5 minutes with the goal being to safely and therapeutically stretch, stimulate and strengthen these deeper tissues. On an energetic level the practice allows chi/prana to move more fluidly through our meridians. Yin is calming and restoring to the nervous system, and enables you to heal yourself and find a deeper sense of stillness in your body and mind. |
