Deepen your understanding, knowledge, practice and teaching of Yin Yoga in a light hearted and supportive atmosphere.
Yin is one of the fastest growing styles of yoga and helps tone connective tissue, ligaments and tendons which are critical to our physical well-being and range of motion. Postures are practiced on the floor and each is held for 3-5 or more minutes. As a result, the body is energized, encouraging a free flow of chi, prana, or “life force” of the body that often gets blocked or stagnant.
