Yin Yoga

Do you want to relax the mind and body, sleep better, and gain more flexibility? Try Yin Yoga. The essence of Yin Yoga is to surrender and be passive in your poses. This focuses on postures that lengthen the muscles surrounding the hips and back. Students typically hold postures for 3–5 minutes to lengthen the connective tissue that surrounds the joints and increase its elasticity. The experienced instructor will give many options for students with medical restrictions. SUPPLIES: Wear comfortable clothes, bring a water bottle, a yoga mat, two yoga blocks, straps, Mexican blankets, and (optional) a bolster.
