what is yin yoga?

Yin yoga is a quiet practice, using long-held passive postures and mindfulness meditation to reveal a natural state of radiant health. It is a beautiful, and some would say very necessary, complement to Yang (Vinyasa) practices. In Yin Yoga the muscles are completely relaxed, and the flow of prana (or "chi") is directed to specific organ meridians, as established by Traditional Chinese Medicine.

In doing so, we deeply cleanse both the physical and subtle body. Over time, most practitioners experience a large increase in their overall flexibility, experiencing places in their body that could not be accessed through muscular effort alone.

Yin Yoga is accessible to virtually all body types and levels of experience. It has been used therapeutically for a wide range of symptoms, including hot flashes, irritability, kidney stones, lower back pain, stress, headaches, and low immune function. I welcome you to explore this amazing science of surrender & rejuvenation.
