Yin yoga is a calm, meditative form of yoga that stretches and strengthens deeper layers of the body such as connective tissue, tendons and ligaments. Unlike dynamic yoga styles, the asanas (postures) in Yin Yoga are held for a longer period of time, often three to five minutes or longer. This practice promotes flexibility and mobility, calms the mind and nervous system, and helps release emotional tension. Yin yoga emphasizes muscle relaxation and passive stretching, often supported by aids such as blocks and pillows. It is an ideal complement to more dynamic yoga styles and helps to regenerate the body.

Yin Yoga encourages you to trust your body's knowledge. It allows you to find the right variation of a posture and your own maximum mobility. Your body is stretched, compressed and rotated so that stress and tension of mental, physical and emotional origins can dissolve.
