(15+) Yin Yoga targets the deep connective tissues of the body, especially the hips, sacrum and spine. Yin asanas (postures) are more passive and mainly on the floor. Yin Yoga is unique as you are asked to relax in the asanas, soften the muscle and move closer to the connective tissues, offering a deeper access to the body. Flexibility decreases over time and Yin Yoga is a wonderful way to maintain your flexibility. No Class Jan. 21 and Feb. 18.
