Yin Yoga

Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga that focuses on holding poses for a longer period of time. Unlike more dynamic forms of yoga, yin yoga doesn’t emphasise muscular strength or flexibility, but rather targets the connective tissues, such as fascia and tendons.

By holding poses for several minutes, you allow the tissues to stretch and release, promoting relaxation and improving flexibility. Yin yoga is often practiced on the floor, using props like blankets and blocks to support your body and deepen the stretches.

Yin yoga can be a great way to reduce stress, improve balance, and enhance overall well-being. It’s suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels, as it’s a gentle practice that doesn’t require a high level of physical strength or flexibility.
