Yin Yoga (1 hr)

This 60 minute Yin class is designed to help you sink into an internal state of awareness. Yin yoga is the opposite to the dynamic strength building yang classes, and as such it focuses on a calmer internal state. Yin is a more meditative style class that holds mainly floor poses usually between 3 and 6 minutes. This class embraces stillness while working with the connective tissues throughout the body (including ligaments, tendons, fascia, bones and cartilage) which requires a different kind of physical exertion. Yin poses do not require muscles to be activated whcih makes this class much less exerting, however perhaps not challenging.
By holding the yin poses for longer, this class encourages interoception, bringing ones awareness inwards to observe physical and mental sensations/ emotions. Since the connective tissues play a bigger role in mobility and range of movement than muscles, this is an excellent class for those wishing to improve movement or increase flexibility.
