Yin Yoga is a therapeutic practice that is an amazing compliment to flow yoga, and is great for recovery in between high-intensity workouts (like running, cycling, martial arts, etc.). It's also great for people whose bodies are stiff from sitting at a desk all day, or who are feeling burned out for any reason at all.

​

Unlike our flow offerings, in Yin you'll either be seated or lying down the entire time. You'll hold each pose for 5-7 minutes, using pillows and props to set yourself up comfortably. This allows the muscles and the connective tissue (fascia) room to stretch and release tension, while the mind slows and quiets down.

​

These longer holds are why Yin is a phenomenal restorative practice for the mind and soul, too.

By practicing active rest and stillness, we deactivate our stress response and are able to heal the harmful effects that come with it. It's the ultimate nervous system reset!

This year, we'll offer Fri-Yay Yin twice a month with Brannin and Shay.
