every now & zen
Yin yoga draws from Ancient Chinese Philosophies and Taoist principles, which believe that we have Chi (energy) running through our bodies. Yin Yoga has a similar effect to Acupuncture. By bringing us profoundly into poses for extended periods, we open blockages for this Chi that lie deep in our connective tissues and joints. This class will help stretch and lengthen those rarely used tissues while teaching you how to become more unified with your breathing.
yin yoga deep stretch
Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, bones, and even the joints of the body that normally are not exercised very much in a more active style of yoga practice. It is suitable for almost all levels of students; Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles. Yin Yoga generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine.
