Yin Yoga

Postures in Yin Yoga are held from 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
