Description

Yin Yoga is a very grounded, slow and quiet practice. However, it can also be quite challenging due to the length of time poses are held-3 to 5 minutes. Yin poses focus on engaging deeper connective tissues like fascia, ligaments, and joints to open up blockages and release energy to flow freely.
