PURE YIN

Pure yin is a healthy, mindful complement to more rigorous flow yoga, and an ideal starting place for new practitioners. Yin postures are practiced seated or laying on the floor and held for 3-5 minutes, allowing the musculature to relax and release into each pose. Beginning exactly where you are feels different for every body, and dedication to yin practice transforms flexibility over time by freeing up the tight connective tissue capsules that form around the muscles and joints. Guided holds in each posture offer an opportunity for inner reflection, meditation, and peace. Emerge from this practice feeling physically, emotionally, and spiritually renewed. Suitable for all levels.
