Yin Yoga
In Yin yoga, most poses are seated or floor-based and are held for two to five minutes. Yin yoga primarily targets the deeper connective tissues of the body, including fascia, ligaments and joints, whereas Vinyasa (flow) yoga tends to focus more on the muscles and dynamic movement.
Yin Yoga is linked to Chinese Medicine philosophies rather than Indian traditions. Most yoga is yang in nature—faster paced and more dynamic—whereas Yin is slow, steady, and deeply grounding. You stay in each position for longer, breathing into the edge of discomfort and noticing sensations and thoughts as they arise and pass.
In this process, connective tissue is lengthened and strengthened. Yin increases flexibility, releases tension, boosts circulation and reduces stress. Our style of Yin incorporates fascia release techniques which we studied under Anya Hawkes.
