Yin Yoga Fundamentals is a 4-session series covering the basics of Yin yoga. Often times, when we think of yoga, we think of dynamic movement that demands strength, flexibility, and stamina. There is a whole other, often forgotten, side to Yoga: a still quiet side that nourishes on a deeper level. Yin yoga is a mindful, deliberate practice focusing on the connective tissues, the ligaments, the bones, and the fascial network of the body. Each pose is held between 3-5 minutes with the intention of opening parts of the body in which we do not get to target in the more yang (active) styles of yoga. The class begins with a short description of the yin yoga approach in order to practice it in a functional and safe manner. The practice of Yin also aims to increase body awareness and self-reflection, and can even become meditative. This series is open to all whether you’re new to Yin yoga or an experienced practitioner. Please dress comfortably; even socks are welcome. Tuition: $60/ series; $30/ drop-in
