NW STUDIO–Yin Yoga

About this event

Yin Yoga quiets the reactive body and mind and encourages stillness and relaxation. Postures are often held for long periods of time in this slower, mostly floor-based practice, thus students can expect a deep stretch. Yin Yoga also targets the deeper and often ignored aspects of the body; blood, bone and connective tissue (fascia). Every muscle fiber, muscle system, organ, and bone is encased in the dense spiderweb-like matrix of connective tissue and learning to manipulate those tissues creates more space. Space is good for effortless movement as well as for the nerves and lymphatic flow. This class is appropriate for all levels, and can be modified to support pregnancy and limited mobility.
