Yin Yoga is a slow paced class that focuses on gently stretching and rehabilitating the connective tissues that form our joints. It is not muscular strength that gives us the feeling of ease and lightness in the body; it is the flexibility of the joints, of the connective tissue. Athletes don’t retire because of muscle problems, they retire because of joint problems. Just as teeth are realigned with braces, likewise the tissues that form our joints can be safely and desirably “exercised” by gently stretching them in Yin Yoga poses.
To combat the natural aging process of tightening through the lower body and weakening through the upper body, Yin Yoga emphasizes stretching the connective tissues in the lower body while emphasizing muscular strength in the upper body. Yin Yoga encourages the use of props and is safe for all ages and fitness levels.
