Yin Yoga with Brooke Woodworth

Where a flow class has Yang energy and movement, Yin offers the contrast to this. Yin is a yoga class characterized by the challenge of stillness to the mind and body. Long holds are the name of the game. You will typically be in each asana(pose) for up to six minutes at a time. Long holds allow for a deep neurosomatic release within the micro fascia of the body. Yin should not be mistaken for a restorative class — it challenges the body and mind to be radically present in places of discomfort.
