For those looking for a yoga practice that’s not about intensity or strength, but rather about surrender, flexibility, and mindfulness, you may be wondering: What is Yin Yoga ? At its core, Yin Yoga is a slower-paced style of yoga that involves holding poses for extended periods of time, typically between 3 to 5 minutes. Rather than focusing on muscle engagement and physical exertion, Yin Yoga targets the deep layers of connective tissue in the body—fascia, ligaments, and joints—by stretching them and improving flexibility. This meditative practice not only helps with physical flexibility but also offers a calming, restorative effect on the mind. In Yin Yoga, you spend time in stillness, learning to breathe deeply and practice mindfulness, which allows you to release tension, reduce stress, and increase mental clarity. What is Yin Yoga? It’s an invitation to relax, slow down, and nurture both your body and mind in a way that promotes overall health and well-being.
