Yin yoga is a wonderful introduction into meditation. It invites stillness of mind and body with gentle poses that stretch the connective tissues of the body. Yin helps to soothe and relax the nervous system and prepares the mind and body for stillness and insight. It aims to increase flexibility in the low back, hips, pelvis, spine and shoulders through passive, longer held stretches. Truly, it is the perfect complement to the more active, yang lifestyles we lead. Class Duration: 90 minutes
