In-Studio Deep Stretch/Yin

About this event

Join us as we turn down the lights and let the deep, dynamic stretching of Yin Yoga take over. With more emphasis on the deeper tissues in the body, Yin moves past the muscles and stimulates the joints and connective tissue, creating a body and mind opening that is unparalleled in any other type of activity. Yin Yoga is a slower-paced, more meditative version of the popular physical and spiritual discipline of yoga. In Yin yoga, the poses are held for a long period of time (typically three to five minutes or longer) to target the connective tissues (such as the ligaments) rather than focusing on the muscles. As a result, the asanas are more passive holds, with little muscular engagement.
