What is Yin Yoga?
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced and meditative style of yoga that primarily focuses on passive floor poses held for an extended period. It is designed to target the deep connective tissues, such as ligaments, tendons, and fascia, with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility
Yin Yoga is more than a style of yoga—it’s a meditative invitation to turn inward, to listen deeply, and to slow down in a world that is constantly asking us to speed up. Rooted in Taoist philosophy and informed by traditional Chinese medicine, Yin Yoga targets the deeper connective tissues of the body—ligaments, fascia, joints—and the energetic meridians that run through them.
In a Yin practice, poses are held for longer periods—typically 3 to 5 minutes or more—offering us a rare opportunity to sit with sensation, breath, and stillness. This stillness becomes the mirror in which we begin to see the nature of the mind, the holding patterns of the body and the subtle energy flowing through both.
“Yin Yoga teaches us the power of surrender—not to give up, but to give in.”
— Sarah Powers

Why Practice Yin Yoga?
For the Body
“The essence of Yin Yoga is yielding. We stress tissues not to break them down, but to maintain and restore their health.” – Paul Grilley
In the physical body, Yin Yoga gently stretches and rehabilitates the connective tissue. Unlike dynamic (yang) practices that strengthen muscles, Yin works in stillness to hydrate fascia and improve joint mobility.
For the Mind
In stillness, the noise of daily life begins to dissolve. Yin offers a gateway to mindfulness and introspection. Each posture becomes a mini meditation, teaching us to be with discomfort, observe resistance, and soften into acceptance.
For the Heart
Yin Yoga creates space—not just in the hips or spine—but in our emotional body. Emotions live in the tissues. In stillness, we often find unprocessed feelings surfacing, asking to be seen, felt, and released.
