Yin Yoga is a deeply meditative, slow-paced style of yoga where passive floor postures are held for long periods of time—typically 3 to 5 minutes or even longer. Unlike active, muscular (yang) styles of yoga, Yin targets the deep connective tissues of the body, including the fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. It is a quiet, reflective practice designed to cultivate mindfulness, release stored physical tension, and promote a sense of profound inner peace.
At SunMoon Wellness, our Yin Yoga sessions invite you to slow down and listen to your body. Using supportive props such as bolsters, blankets, and blocks, you will gently stress the connective tissues to increase circulation in the joints and improve flexibility. The extended holds provide a rare opportunity to practice mindfulness and observation, calming the nervous system and restoring energetic balance.
Quiet centering with breath awareness, a series of ground-based passive postures held for 3-5 minutes using props, mindful stillness during the holds, and a long, gentle integration period in Savasana.
Anyone seeking stress relief, joint recovery, flexibility, or those who want to balance intense athletic training (runners, weightlifters) with deep restoration.
Comfortable, warm layers of clothing (body temperature drops during passive practice), a yoga mat, and a bottle of water.
