This Yin class comprises a series of floor poses that focus on the hips, pelvis, inner thighs and lower spine – all areas especially rich in connective tissues. We also practice poses focusing on chest and shoulders. All poses are held for up to five minutes and modifications and variations are always offered in order to accommodate students’ individual needs, bodies and practices. The class ends with a meditative savasana.Yin yoga stretches and targets both the deep connective tissues between the muscles, and the fascia throughout the body. The aim is to increase circulation in the joints and improve flexibility as the poses exercise the bone and joint areas. It also helps us to regulate the body’s flow of energy.Please note it's generally not recommended to practice Yin yoga during pregnancy due to the increased levels of the relaxin hormone. It is also not recommended for 8-12 weeks post-partum
