Sometimes called the quiet yoga, yin yoga is a slow, floor-based practice that invites you to settle into longer-held poses with very little movement. Rather than flowing from posture to posture, you’ll gently ease into shapes that nourish the body’s connective tissues—especially the fascia—while creating space to notice sensation, breath, and subtle shifts within. From the outside it may resemble restorative yoga, but in yin we are exploring a gentle, sustainable stretch and staying there with curiosity.Instead of focusing on how a pose looks, yin yoga is about how it feels. The intention is not to achieve a perfect shape, but to find a meaningful sensation in the body without pain. You’ll be guided to work at about 50–60% of your capacity—enough to feel something without pushing or forcing. This moderate approach allows the body to soften gradually over time, and often deeper sensation naturally emerges as the body relaxes.
In this class you’ll be introduced to the foundations of a yin practice in a way that is supportive and approachable. You’ll learn how to gauge intensity, how to use props to support your body, and how to stay present and attentive during longer holds. Along the way, you may discover that slowing down and doing less can actually help you feel more.
Over time, this quiet practice can support mobility, calm the nervous system, and gently unwind layers of accumulated tension. No previous yoga experience is needed—just a little curiosity and a willingness to slow down and listen to your body.
