Class description: Yin Yoga - open level

While Yang yoga practices (Ashtanga, Vinyasa, flow) physically target the 'superficial' muscles, in Yin yoga, targets the deep connective tissues of the body - the ligaments, joints, bones, and deep fascia networks.

A Yin class usually consists of a series of passive floor poses held for up to 5 minutes or more, that mainly work the lower part of the body - the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine. These areas are especially rich in connective tissues.

On an energetic level, Yin yoga improves energy flow and enhances the flow of chi in the organs but the practice also offers huge mental and emotional benefits.
