Core & Stretch or Yin
Yin yoga focuses on the connective tissues within the body - the tendons, ligaments, bones, and fascia - to increase flexibility, strength and hydration of your joints. An excellent compliment to the vinyasa practice as well as any other activity that requires a lot of movement such as running, biking, hiking, sports, etc.
Yin yoga is a radically different approach than that of vinyasa, power, or other movement or posture practices. Yin yoga holds postures for longer periods of time and in stillness while gently negotiating the edge of discomfort. The aim is to gently apply mild stress to the connective tissues while releasing tension from the muscles.
Because there is stillness and time in each shape, the yin practice also invites you to draw upon mindfulness practices to observe thoughts, feelings, and sensations as they shift within your experience.
