What is Yin Yoga?

Yin Yoga is a meditative, slow-paced style of yoga that works deeply into the fascia, ligaments, and connective tissues. By holding postures for longer periods than in more active styles, the practice creates a powerful physical and emotional experience while encouraging the release of positive energy.

Typically, poses are held for 3 to 7 minutes. This supports emotional healing, increases calmness, and improves joint mobility.
