Yin Yoga

Yin yoga, the poses are held for a long period of time to target the connective tissues rather than focusing on the muscles. As a result, the asanas are more passive holds, with little muscular engagement. In yin yoga there is time to explore your sensations, to get to know your body, what it needs, and what it does not need. On a physical level, yin yoga targets and affects our deepest layers: the connective tissues, which include our fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones.
