Yin Yoga Yin yoga targets your deep connective tissues, like your fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. Yin yoga is a very gentle yoga practice and a great way to release tension and relieve stress. We move slowly and mindful throughout the yoga practice, paying special attention to the breath, giving you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body.

There is (almost) no muscular engagement throughout the whole practice. Only if the muscles are relaxed, it is possible to target the connective tissue. The practice of yin yoga is based on ancient Chinese philosophies and Taoist principles which believe there are pathways of Qi (energy) that run through our bodies. By stretching and deepening into poses, we're opening up any blockages and releasing that energy to flow freely. A Yin yoga class usually consists of a series of long-held, passive floor poses held for up to five minutes, sometimes longer. Easy to perform, suitable for everyone.
