Mindful + Grounded Yin

About this event

Yin is an active practice that begins with a short period of grounding, moves through several poses where stillness and surrendering to the pose are encouraged and ends with rest. Holding static and meditative poses for several minutes is the basis of a Yin class. This allows for stretching and strengthening by targeting deep connective tissues like ligaments and fascia, moving benefit toward the joints rather than activating the muscles. Because of the emphasis on getting deeper into the body the practice is about stillness and awareness of sensation rather than dynamic movement. The resulting inward focus helps to release emotional and physical tension. Variations of postures are offered so that the pose is appropriate to the body. Props are used to help make the practice accessible to all. Yin is a compliment to a more active, heat building yang practice providing a balanced approach to your physical health.
