Yin Yoga is a slow, meditative style of yoga that invites you to settle into stillness. Instead of flowing from one posture to the next, yin encourages you to hold shapes for three to seven minutes—or sometimes longer. This unhurried pace allows the stretch to move beyond the surface of the muscles and into the body’s deeper connective tissues such as fascia, joints, and ligaments.

Although it may appear soft, passive, or even simple at first glance, yin can be surprisingly challenging. The long-held poses require presence, patience, and a willingness to meet both physical and emotional sensations with curiosity. Many practitioners discover that until they’ve experienced yin, they’ve only explored half of what the asana practice has to offer.

In yin, the body is supported with props like bolsters, blocks, and blankets to encourage deep release rather than muscular effort. Softening into each posture not only improves flexibility and mobility but also helps unwind long-held tension stored within the deeper layers of the body.
