What is Yin? One of our team members explains. “Yin Yoga is a slow, meditative practice consisting of long holding floor postures. Spending about 3-5 minutes in these passive postures allows the benefits of the practice to move beyond the muscles and into the deep layers of connective tissues in your body - the tendons, fasciae and ligaments. Most poses physically work on the lower part of the body - the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, and lower spine, as these areas are rich in
Traditional Chinese Medicine and as “nadis” in Hatha Yoga. Each posture stimulates specific energy lines, each of which connects to your organs and emotions. Yin Yoga increases energy flow and wellbeing to your organs, restores and maintains mobility of the joints, enhances emotional equilibrium, and prepares the body and mind for meditation. Yin is a beautiful complementary practice to the more invigorating, heated Bikram, Vinyasa, and Fire Phiit classes offered at the studio. It emphasizes stillness and silence and brings you into a peaceful place within.” - Jackie Ryan
