Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga deeply stretches the body to increase flexibility, enhance energy flow and unwind the mind. Regular Yin Yoga practice enhances the health of your joints, reduces the likelihood of injury and assists in healing from past injuries. It can also relieve stress, fatigue, and general aches and pains. The perfect compliment to your Yang Yoga practice (Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga etc.) and other types of exercise, this style of Yoga is ideal if you are tired and craving energy or you’re over stimulated and have too much energy; if your mind is overactive or your energy levels are erratic.
Rachel’s Yin Yoga classes consist of a series of long-held, passive floor poses that work into the deep connective tissues of the body. The poses are held for up to three minutes, sometimes longer.
Suitable for all, from total beginner to advanced yogi, this class involves sitting and laying down on the floor. Standing is not required in this class.
