YinYoga

Yin Yoga

Using long holds and a slow pace, Yin Yoga provides a deep stretch to the fascial tissues. Blankets, pillows, blocks and straps provide support as you surrender to each pose. Each of the 3-5 seated or reclined poses allow time and gravity to lengthen and untangle the connective tissues surrounding the muscles and joints. Yin yoga asanas use lots of props, that are provided, or you can bring your own pillows, blankets, blocks, and straps.This class is beneficial on it’s own, or a great add-on to a HPY class.
