What is Yin Yoga?

Yin Yoga was developed to complement Yang styles of yoga by focusing on passive stretches that promote relaxation and introspection. The practice involves seated or supine poses that engage the lower body, particularly the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. The goal is to gently stretch and strengthen the connective tissues while encouraging a meditative state of mind. By holding poses for longer durations, practitioners can access deeper layers of tension and promote emotional release.
