EXPLORING YIN YOGA AND MINDFULNESS MEDITATION
Yin Yoga is a contemplative practice that allows us to drop in
and listen to our inner stillness.
Explore the quieter side of yoga and discover why less is more.
Yin yoga is not a different style of yoga but is a different way to BE your yoga. Learn the basic principles of Yin yoga and discover how it is a complement to active yoga practices as well as to our busy lives. Yin yoga keeps the body supple while encouraging stagnant chi (prana/life force) to flow throughout the joints, balancing the organ and meridian systems for our general health. With its deeply nourishing asanas that are held for 3-5 minutes (no standing poses), yin yoga encourages a greater capacity for mindful awareness, helps you realize a deeper sense of peacefulness, and leaves you with a sense of heightened energy throughout the entire body. Because it targets the connective tissue of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine, Yin yoga is recommended for people who are chronically “stiff”, for athletes, and for anyone who wants to alleviate tight hips and low back pain.
Class will end with guided mindfulness meditation.
Yoga Alliance contact hours credit available for yoga teachers.
