Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga has a calming and slow pace. The focus is on deep tissues of the body, such as ligaments, joints and fascia. The practitioners hold the poses from 3 to 5 or more minutes. The poses help the practitioner to find more mental peace and flexibility.

Yin is the quality of calmness, darkness and coolness. It also represents receptivity and introspection. It is connected to the moon, the night, the water and the feminine principle. Yin manifests in the body and the mind as a passive, calm energy.
