Yin Yoga & Mindfulness

About this event

Yin Yoga and meditation can be experienced as a practice of optimal well-being for the whole self. Combining the practices of Yin Yoga and mindfulness meditation creates powerful possibilities for transformation and holistic healing on all layers of being—body, mind, and heart. This practice unwinds tension in the body to bring long-lasting relief and health to the body’s critical “invisible half,” refreshes the mind to bring clarity and deeper understanding, and creates spaciousness in the heart to let us live and love with greater ease and more joy. With a slow and steady approach, Yin Yoga uses floor poses held in stillness, allowing these passive, long holds to strengthen and hydrate critical joint tissues in a way that most other practices cannot. Yin exercise targets the body’s connective tissues—including the ligaments, bones, cartilage, and tendons—as well as myofascial and three-dimensional web fascia, all major but often ignored components of flexibility, mobility, strength, and structure.
