What Is Yin Yoga?
Yin Yoga is a slow, reflective practice that works into the body’s deep connective tissues—fascia, ligaments, and joints—through long-held, passive postures, often supported by props.
Unlike more active styles of yoga, Yin emphasizes stillness, breath awareness, and inward attention.
It invites gradual release and spacious opening, allowing the body to soften without force.
Shaped by Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yin Yoga also supports energy flow through the meridians, helping to restore physical and emotional balance.
