Yin Yoga
Level 1: Release Deep Tension Through Stillness and Gentle, Long Holds.
Service Description
What to Expect Yin Yoga is a quiet, meditative practice that targets the deepest tissues of the body—our connective tissues, ligaments, and joints. Unlike dynamic flows, Yin is practiced entirely on the floor. We hold passive postures for three to five minutes, using props for support, which allows the body to slowly open and the mind to settle into a state of deep reflection. The Benefits Increased Flexibility: Targets the fascia to improve long-term mobility and joint health. Stress Reduction: Activates the parasympathetic nervous system for profound relaxation. Enhanced Circulation: Long holds improve the flow of energy and blood to the joints. Mental Resilience: Teaches the mind to remain calm and present during stillness. A Bit of History Yin Yoga was founded in the 1970s by martial arts expert Paulie Zink and later popularized by teachers like Paul Grilley and Sarah Powers. It is deeply rooted in Taoist traditions and the concept of "meridians" (energy channels). While modern yoga often focuses on the "Yang" (muscular) aspect, Yin was designed to balance this by nourishing the "cool," stable parts of our anatomy. Is It Right for Me? Yin is perfect for everyone, especially those with a very active lifestyle or high-stress jobs. It is highly recommended for athletes looking to prevent injury and for anyone who finds it difficult to "switch off." If you want to leave the studio feeling lighter, more spacious, and deeply rested, Yin is your sanctuary. Ready to let go? Join us for a deep release!
