Join Maya Rook for Yin Yoga every Friday morning!

Yin Yoga is a beautiful complement to our more active Yang lifestyles and yoga practices. Here, we slow down and hold poses of stillness, typically for 3-5 minutes, using props to help support us. The intention of a longer hold on a physical level is to stimulate and nourish the connective tissues and fascia. We also work consciously with the breath and the mind-body connection through these poses of relative stillness and cultivation of awareness of sensations that arise. Yin Yoga draws from Daoism and the Five Element Theory in Traditional Chinese Medicine as different poses relate to specific organs and meridians in the body, supporting and balancing one’s energy.
