With Yin Yoga, you focus on much more passive poses. These poses don’t focus as much on muscle use as they do on deep connective tissues. Poses can be held for many minutes, which allows you to enter a meditative state and get in touch with areas of your body. It’s the opposite of fast-paced exercise programs, allowing you to reflect, feel, and address deep-seated pain or trauma. You’ll regulate energy and bring a sense of calming and balance to oneself.
