Yin Yoga is a slow-paced practice that targets the deep connective tissues, such as ligaments and fascia, to enhance flexibility and promote relaxation. In contrast to more dynamic forms of yoga, Yin Yoga involves holding passive poses for an extended duration, typically ranging from three to five minutes or even longer. These prolonged holds, often supported by props, encourage a gentle, sustained stretch that reaches into the less elastic, deeper layers of the body.

This practice is designed to be complimentary to more active styles of yoga. It is particularly beneficial for improving joint mobility, alleviating tension, and promoting a meditative state. Yin Yoga's emphasis on surrender and patience makes it accessible to various levels of practitioners, offering a unique and meditative approach to enhancing both physical and mental well-being.
