Yin Yoga is a slow, meditative practice that works deeply into the body’s connective tissues—fascia, ligaments, and joints—through long-held, mostly floor-based postures. Shapes are typically held for 3–5 minutes or longer, allowing the muscles to soften so we can gently stress the deeper tissues in a safe, sustainable way.

In traditional Yin theory, poses are designed to stimulate specific energy pathways in the body known as meridians, a concept rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. These meridians correspond to organ systems such as the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, and stomach. By applying mindful, steady pressure along these lines, we support circulation—both physical and energetic—and encourage balance within the body.

Each season is also associated with certain meridians and emotional qualities. For example:
• Liver & Gallbladder (spring) — growth, direction, frustration
• Heart & Small Intestine (summer) — joy, connection
• Lung & Large Intestine (autumn) — grief, letting go
• Kidney & Bladder (winter) — fear, resilience

This practice is quiet and introspective. We use props generously to support the body, and we emphasize sensation over intensity. Yin Yoga complements more active (yang) movement styles and helps regulate the nervous system, making it especially beneficial in times of stress or transition.

Expect stillness, breath awareness, and space to turn inward.

Chair yoga is a form of yoga that is performed while seated in a chair, making it accessible for individuals with mobility limitations or those who prefer not to practice on the floor. It includes modified poses and breathing exercises that can improve flexibility, strength, and overall well-being.
