Yin Yoga is a slow paced style of modern yoga with postures that are held for longer periods of time. Beautiful and deep practice that encourages theory to relax rather than engage. Yin brings a perspective shift: It is as much a mental practice as it is a physical practice, moving inwardly to find a balance state of peace.
