Description
Yin is a style of yoga that focuses primarily on the connective tissues and fascia network of the body. Through an exploration of longer-held and generally passive postures, the yin yoga practice offers physical benefits such as joint mobility, restoration on a cellular level, and connecting to energy flow within the body. In addition to many more physical benefits, the yin yoga practice offers mental and spiritual benefits as practitioners deepen their relationship with the living body and being in the present moment. The practice fosters resiliency as students mindfully & softly navigate layers of self, discover mental habits, understand stress management, personal trauma-response, and inner alignment… an observation of healing in the present moment. The yin space is designed for compassionate connection; connection to self, community, Mother Earth, Source of all life, and being. All are welcome in this space.
