Yin Yoga
Yin yoga is a slow, meditative practice that supports both physical and emotional wellbeing through long-held, passive postures. Physically, it targets the connective tissues, improving mobility, circulation, and joint health while releasing deep-seated tension in the body. Mentally and emotionally, the extended stillness encourages nervous system regulation, introspection, and the gentle processing of stored emotions. This combination creates space for profound relaxation, self-awareness, and inner healing.
Yin yoga is a slow, gentle, floor-based practice where postures are held for around 3–5 minutes at a time. The pace is intentionally unhurried. We use stillness, breath, and support from props to allow the body to soften gradually rather than stretch forcefully. It’s less about how a pose looks, and more about how it feels.
Yin supports both the physical body and the emotional nervous system. The long holds reach the deeper layers of tissue — fascia, joints, and connective tissue — while giving the mind space to slow down. This isn’t about pushing or performing. It’s about listening. Yin invites you to meet yourself exactly where you are and let the body release tension in its own time.
Physical Support
Physically, yin yoga improves mobility, circulation, and joint health by working with tissues that don’t get much attention in faster movement practices. The sustained holds hydrate fascia, ease deep tension, and help the body feel more open and balanced.
It’s especially supportive if you feel stiff, overworked, burnt out, or spend a lot of time sitting or training hard. Props are always used to make the practice accessible and safe — comfort allows the body to truly let go.
Mental & Emotional Reset
The stillness of yin is where the deeper work happens. When the body slows, the nervous system follows. Many of us carry stress and unprocessed emotion physically; yin creates a safe space for those layers to gently unwind.
Regular practice can help regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and build emotional resilience. You’re learning how to stay present with sensation, breathe through discomfort, and soften instead of bracing — skills that ripple into everyday life.
A Space to Come Back to Yourself
Yin yoga is a reset. A pause. A reminder that rest is productive and softness is strength. Each class is an invitation to step out of urgency and reconnect with your breath, your body, and your inner rhythm.
You don’t need to be flexible. You don’t need experience. You just need a willingness to slow down and listen.
