Yin Yoga for Deep Relaxation: Surrender to Stillness

What is Yin Yoga?

Yin Yoga is a slow and meditative style of yoga that focuses on long-held, passive poses. Designed to target the deeper connective tissues, such as ligaments, joints, and fascia, it promotes profound relaxation, flexibility, and inner peace. At YogSathi, our Yin Yoga for Deep Relaxation classes create a sanctuary for your body and mind, helping you let go of tension and embrace stillness.

Benefits of Yin Yoga

   • Holding poses for longer periods helps release stress and calm the nervous system.

2. Improved Flexibility

   • Stretch and open the body’s deeper layers, enhancing mobility and range of motion.

3. Increased Circulation

   • Gentle, sustained stretches improve blood flow and support joint health.

4. Enhanced Mindfulness

   • Slow, meditative practice encourages presence, awareness, and mental clarity.

5. Balances Energy Flow

What to Expect in a Yin Yoga Class

1. Setting the Tone

   • Begin with a calming atmosphere, dim lighting, and soothing music to help you transition into stillness.

2. Long-Held Poses

   • Poses like Butterfly, Dragon, and Sphinx are held for 3–5 minutes, allowing time to stretch deeply and release tension.

3. Props for Support
