Foundations of Yin

Yin is a quieter yoga practice that can provide an opportunity to go within.  It is simple but challenging providing periods of stillness allowing awareness of what is happening in the now.   Yin offers a range of physical and mental benefits including increased flexibility, stress reduction and enhanced mindfulness.   Most forms of yoga are dynamic and designed to work muscles.  Yin works the other half, the deeper tissues of our ligaments, joints, deep facial network and bones by holding poses for an extended period of time improving energy flow. Working all tissues help achieve vitality and optimal health.
