The perfect complement to dynamic (yang) fitness and busy city life, yin yoga is a quieter, more inward practice that utilizes long-held, floor-based postures which benefit your deeper “yin” connective tissues, such as the fascia, for the purpose of increasing circulation in the joints, improving flexibility through myofascial release, and releasing tension in the neck, shoulders, hips, and hamstrings. A more meditative approach to yoga, yin aims to cultivate awareness of inner silence and to revitalize our energies.
In this 2-hour yin workshop, supported by the healing environment at Now Yoga, we’ll work with the breath and the prana vayus. Prana means “life force,” and vayu means “wind” or “direction of energy.” Working with the vayus can help us regulate the physical body, mental health, and energetic renewal, and to find greater steadiness and life balance.
