Tender Yin Yoga

In Yin yoga we relax the muscles and settle into yoga poses for several minutes at a time. Holding poses for a longer time means that we can then connect our mind to every inch of our body. 

The physical benefits can be a relief from achy, vague pain; joints that become more movable and supple, and the body feeling energized.
At the same time these longer held poses are wonderful to sink into the body and to learn to feel both physical and emotional changes in our body. 
With a connected body and mind, we are less vulnerable to stress, and more resilient to change.

Yin Yoga is to learn to be comfortable with the uncomfortable, and loving towards all parts of who we are.
