Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is a meditative and deeply restorative practice that targets the body’s connective tissues — ligaments, fascia, and joints — through long-held, passive postures. Unlike more dynamic forms of yoga, Yin invites you to slow down, soften, and surrender into stillness, typically holding poses for 3–5 minutes or longer, make adjustments as needed. Rooted in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and modern anatomical science, Yin Yoga works with the body’s meridian system to balance energy (Qi) and promote organ health, while also stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system — the body’s rest-and-digest mode — which helps reduce stress and cultivate a sense of inner calm. Scientifically, holding poses over time creates a gentle stress on the connective tissues, encouraging them to hydrate, strengthen, and become more resilient. This improves joint mobility, releases deeply held tension, and supports long-term flexibility and range of motion. “In stillness, we find what moves us.”
