Candlelight yin

Yin Yoga is a practice focused on working past the superficial layer of muscle into the deeper connective tissues – ligaments, tendons, fascia. While heat is perfect to allow the muscles to relax and lengthen in a Vinyasa practice, Yin is practiced in an unheated space so the stretch is targeted to the Yin-like connective tissues. Longer, static holds create feelings of deep relaxation and bring more stillness internally as well as externally. Yin provides more than just the physical benefits, as emotions are energetically held in the physical body. Approaching your Yin practice with respectful awareness and the addition of props (blocks, bolsters, blankets, and straps, etc.) can support a deeper emotional experience. Yin is the perfect tool to balance out yang forms of yoga asanas, such as Vinyasa, Hatha, Ashtanga, etc. Even the most devoted practitioner of yang yoga can benefit from the increased flexibility and joint stability that Yin provides. From beginner to advanced practitioner, Yin is for you!

This class will be set to candlelight for a more relaxing practice environment.

*Feel free to bring any of your favorite props! Blocks and straps will be provided. If you have a bolster, please bring it with you. A dense pillow is also a good substitution.*
