yin yoga
|
Yin yoga is based on ancient Chinese philosophies and Taoist yoga (Dao Yin) to stimulate the pathways of energy within our bodies. Yin Yoga works on opening the intricate webbing of connective tissue that connects our muscles helping increase overall flexibility. As we flow through the class, we hold poses for a longer periods of time to release energy that may be blocked in fascia, tendons, joints and muscles. Our breath-work assists us in developing mindfulness, and puts us in touch with the physical sensations of the energetic body.
When muscles are tense, the energy flow to connective tissue can become blocked, so we will use various props to find that sweet spot without straining; enhancing the body’s relaxation response to allow for deep releases of muscle tension and stress, leaving the body feeling open, relaxed and renewed. Yin yoga is the perfect complement to a “yang” or more active yoga practice balance chi life-force energy. Each class will end with deep relaxation.
