Yin Yoga Class ♥ Best Yoga For Slow Deep Muscle Release

What is Yin Yoga? Yin Yoga is a style of yoga practice that targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, bones, and even the joints of the body that normally are not exercised very much in a more active style of asana practice. Suitable for almost all levels, Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat, and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles. Yin Yoga generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. Each posture in Yin Yoga is usually held up to 5 minutes or so. However, if you’re very new to this I recommend you start with 1‑minute holds until you feel more confident in your posture. If you’re more of an advanced yogi, then feel free to pause the video and hold each pose longer. Yin Yoga has many amazing benefits, including stillness that calms and balances the mind and body, stress and anxiety reduction, increased circulation, improved flexibility, and fascial release. This 20‑minute Yin Yoga class is designed to give you that relaxing deep stretch your body has been craving for. Do this practice after a long day at work or school, or after a vigorous workout. Remember, breathing is a very important factor in Yin Yoga, so throughout this entire practice make sure you’re taking deep breaths in and long slow exhales out. Bring oxygen to your muscles, organs, and mind. Re‑energize your nervous system, let go of stress and tension, and become fully present in each moment of each posture as you let go of the past with each exhale you make. Relax, go deep, enjoy. xo Juliana
