Yin Yoga is a beautiful practice that uses little to no muscles, just breath. Poses are created to allow the body to open and stretch with little movement. Through this practice you will develop a better control of the breath and begin to connect with the body in a different way. This is a great class to take before a more active (Yang) practice. Blankets, bolsters and blocks may be used to help the body let go and relax, finding the very edges of the body and mind. (Class will return in Fall/Winter season)
