Yin – While “yang” yoga focuses on your muscles, yin yoga targets your deep connective tissues, like your fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. It’s a slow and mindful practice, giving you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Most poses are done while seated or lying down supported by the use of props and are held in stillness for several minutes. Yin yoga helps you stretch and lengthen those rarely-used tissues while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts.
