YIN Yoga Classes: 6 Mondays, Feb. 19-Mar.26, 7-8:15 pm
Yoga as practiced in the west is almost exclusively Yang or muscular in nature. The Yin aspect of yoga uses postures that stretch connective tissue that we rarely touch on in more yang styles of yoga. Yin postures are done with the muscles relaxed and are held a long time. This is because connective tissue does not respond the same way as muscle tissue does to brief or repetitive stress. Boring and passive? Not at all, the practice becomes challenging because of the duration of the pose. Regular yoga practitioners seeking a deeper focus will also find this style of benefit. No previous yoga experience is required to participate. Veracis Wellness
