Yoga is an ancient technique that connects mind, body, and soul through the practice physical poses, mindfulness, and deep breathing. it's known to help lower stress levels, while increasing strength and flexibility. While I teach a variety of yoga styles including beginner's yoga and vinyasa flow, my speciality lies in Yin yoga.
Yin Yoga specifically is a deeply nourishing practice that focuses on releasing the fascia (connective tissue, ie, ligaments, tendons, etc…) through passive stretching. Releasing the fascia is essential to the health of our minds and body. According to Ancient Chinese Medicine, fascia contains an energy system which is extremely sensitive and intelligent; it stores all kinds of physical and subtle information from our lives and sends messages to the rest of the body. Blockages in these energy systems can lead to tight muscles, joint pain, arthritis, and other illnesses.
The long held poses in Yin yoga allow for deep stretching which penetrate the connective tissue, creating space and giving the muscles a much needed break, while allowing energy to flow freely.
