Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga that focuses on holding poses for extended periods, typically between three to five minutes. This practice targets the deeper connective tissues, such as ligaments and fascia, promoting flexibility and joint health. It is often practiced in a calm environment, encouraging relaxation and mindfulness.
Unlike more dynamic styles like Vinyasa or Ashtanga, Yin Yoga emphasizes stillness and introspection. The poses are usually seated or lying down, allowing practitioners to explore their physical and emotional sensations. This meditative approach can help reduce stress and improve overall well-being.
