In yin yoga we gently stretch connective tissue by relaxing into passive postures that lengthen the body and free up your joints. You will learn to soften your muscles, and your breath, as you observe bodily sensations.
Yin yoga generally promotes flexibility in areas often perceived as nonmalleable, especially the hips, pelvis and lower spine. A meditative and peaceful practice, yin yoga can help you notice and release tension. It is detoxifying and a lovely counterpoint to any other physical activity you enjoy.
