Yin & Yin Flow
Based on the Taoist concept of yin and yang - this practice features a series of long-held, passive, mostly floor-based, shapes that focus on the lower part of the body - the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine. These areas are especially rich in connective tissues. A regular yin practice can have considerable impact to chronic tightness and imbalances caused by overuse. It's best to come cool so that we tap less into muscular length and more into fascial tension. This practice has instruction with prop suggestions but is otherwise a relatively quiet, fertile ground.
Yin is offered as a stand alone practice or as a fusion with flow or restorative. Our flow fusion (Yin + Flow) is set to a music back drop that focuses on a single artist, album or theme.
