Yin Yoga is a style of yoga that was developed as a slower, deeper practice. Designed to target areas of the body that more dynamic Yoga practices don’t address.
During a Yin Yoga practice, each posture is held for anything from 1min to as long as 15min. An average of 8-10 postures will be performed in each class. There is no use of Suyra Namaskar but rather counter postures between asanas. Popular themes include hip and heart ‘opening’ asanas.
Enjoy a 60min class with an additional transcript that has pictures and descriptions of each Yin posture.
The Metal Element in TCM governs the lung and large intestine. The emotions associated with this element are grief and courage. This sequence works to open in and around these meridian lines, to bring balance and awareness to the energy systems.
