Our spines are so important, and we often overlook their unwavering support for the rest of our body. In this spine-centered yin class, become friends with your spine; gently moving it with love and attentiveness.
Postures in Yin Yoga are held for 3-5 minutes to allow the opening of connective tissues. While the poses are passively held, Yin Yoga can become intense considering that poses are held for a longer period of time. In a 60 minute Yin Yoga class, expect to do an average of 8 poses and for an 80 minute class, maybe 10-12 poses. For some, a Yin Yoga practice provides a much needed balance to Vinyasa or more active styles of Hatha yoga
