Class Overview

This deeply relaxing Yin class combined with gentle heat involves long holds in poses for deep stretching and release. Heat therapy increases blood flow by dilating, or opening up, blood vessels. The goal here is to increase pliability, flexibility and mobility of the muscles and joints. Yin Yoga targets the deepest tissues of the body, our connective tissues – ligaments, joints, bones, the deep fascia networks of the body and the meridians. This is contrast to a Yang yoga practice such as Vinyasa yoga which targets the muscles. Energetically, Yin yoga improves the energy flow, enhancing the flow of chi in the organs. Yin yoga also offers wonderful emotional and mental health benefits.
