Hot Yin Yoga: New to Yoga Welcome

About this event

Hot Yin Yoga consists of simple poses held for 5 to 10 minutes per pose to facilitate a deep tissue release in connective tissue with the use of bolsters, blocks, straps, and blankets. Holding poses longer especially in a heated room helps the body slowly melt into alignment with greater ease, thus allowing muscles to relax. Yin Yoga is mainly concerned with the ligaments, the tissue that holds bone to bone, encapsulates each joint, and contains the lubricating synovial fluid found wrapped around the spine, attached to the pelvis and the thigh bones. The fluidity of movement and the range of motion in the body is dependent upon healthy connective tissue. Connective tissue begins to lose its range of motion as we age if not used. Moving slowly and deliberately through a series of poses that address all joints and major muscle groups re-establishes natural body alignment that is often lost through modern day work and driving habits. This Yin practice is accessible to students of all skill levels, even new to yoga. Modifications will be available.
