Yin Yoga
Workshop
This unique style of yoga practice brings a focus to the connective
tissues of the body. Yogic postures are held for longer periods of
time, allowing the less elastic tissues of the body to become more
supple. You will be introduced to Yin Yoga theory and practice, learn
how to perform specific postures, study some basic anatomy and
physiology, and learn terms such as 'tension', 'compression' and 'fuzz'
to assist your practice.
