Course Description

The yin style of yoga is characterized by holding postures for a significant length of time–think 2-5 minutes. But it isn’t like restorative yoga or gentle yoga. Yin postures are active and seek to interact with the layers of fascia that cover our muscles. In restorative yoga, you are more likely to be supported by props and able to melt into the pose. In yin, you are supported but you are also making an effort to maintain the posture. It is appropriate for all healthy students and for some injuries, but not others. Most poses are done on the floor. Read more about yin yoga on our blog.
