The second part of class, the Yin part, is a quieter practice where the body receives a deep stretch to the ligaments and connective tissues. The true effort in Yin Yoga is balanced between calming the tension in the body and quieting a busy overactive mind. FJCC Upper Hall Fridays, September 16 - October 28 M
