Yin Yoga offers a wonderful balance for the more active styles of yoga. The practice, based on a Taoist approach, focuses mainly on seated and reclining postures that are held with minimal use of muscle (Yang) for longer periods of time. Through this process we are able to access the ligaments and even the bones, applying gentle stress to these areas, which helps to strengthen connective tissue, enhance joint flexibility and increase the flow of energy throughout the body.
