Yoga classes at the Lighthouse in Theresa on Thursdays beginning 11/13
Yin Yoga
What is Yin yoga?
Yin yoga is a slow meditative type of yoga where poses are held for 3-10 minutes. The poses are passive and use gravity and the weight of the body to slowly sink deeper into each pose.
What are the benefits?
On a physical level, Yin yoga helps stretch the connective tissues of the body (ligaments, tendons and fascia) and helps lubricate the joints. Yin yoga can help release emotions and traumas that have been trapped in the body.
Who should practice yin yoga?
Yin yoga is for everyone. We spend a good part of our lives active in body and mind. Yin forces us to slow down, to feel what is uncomfortable and listen to our inner voices.
Does yin yoga require props?
The only prop required for Yin yoga is a mat.
