YIN

Elevating the heart rate, exercising the muscles, and sweating out toxins is very important to our health, and our bodies need more than just that.  Yin offers a deeper stretch with the intended purpose of maintaining and improving the health of our connective tissues that deteriorate with age.  Developed in the 1970’s, Yin Yoga takes a modern approach to energy healing. It is a discipline that combines the age-old traditions of the yogis of India with teachings of Daoist fundamentals and Traditional Chinese Medicine.  In Yin Yoga, simplistic and meditative postures are held for as little as 3-5 minutes that effectively access deeper layers of fascia and connective tissue, work to reduce stress and anxiety while increasing circulation, flexibility, and joint mobility.  Yin yoga offers an outlet for physical, emotional, and spiritual growth leading lead to self-empowerment through the knowledge of self-care.
