Description

Yin postures are primarily about release. They are passive in nature and held anywhere from one to five minutes to target the body’s connective tissues. This practice focuses on stilling the body for a gentle, sustained sensation rather than a deep stretch. This stillness, combined with gentle breathwork, calms the mind and settles the nervous system. Have the following props on hand: yoga bolster (or cushions/pillows/rolled up blanket); 1-2 blankets; yoga blocks (or sturdy books); and a yoga strap (or tie or scarf).

Please note that the online class fee is a per-person fee. If you invite a friend or family member to join you online, each person must book and purchase separately.
