Are you new to YIN YOGA?  Then be sure to read my article about it here so you know what a delicious treat is in store for you!

The YIN YOGA approach that is slightly different than most yoga flow classes.  Classic yoga postures are held for long periods of time to release the connective tissues of the body. Yin Yoga is a slower, more visibly passive form of yoga, yet it leads to very deep opening and release. Because it requires us to slow down, the mental component of Yin Yoga is also at the forefront. 

YIN YOGA is a particularly great if you need to loosen tight places in your body, or if you would like to cultivate patience in your daily life. Yin Yoga is well-suited for athletes, weightlifters, bodybuilders, mental racers, hot-heads, over-achievers, as well as those whose tension is from physical inactivity. It may also be helpful for those whose tightness is related to scar tissue or inflammation. It is a slow, progressive way to lessen shortened muscles and increase flexibility. YIN YOGA is THE practice if you are seeking more balance in your busy life. This particular features floor postures that will help you open the pectorals and unwind deep tension in the feet, calves, quads, psoas, and more. 

The particular sequence of THIS workshop is designed to work the liver and gallbladder meridians--which just means the energy pathways--that help us feel lighter in brighter in our moods.  The idea, originating from Chinese Medicine, is that certain channels in the body gets tight through physical strain, routines, or emotional stressors, and that working certain bodily points help release the problematic energetic blockages.  As a result, the innate healing capacities of the body-mind balance on their own, leaving you feeling much happier and vital.

The poses we will be doing during this workshop target the toes, ankles, and hips, as well as feelings of frustration, anger, or irritability, in order to enhance peacefulness, cheerfulness, openness, and kindness.  The overall affect on the mind-body make is well worth the effort Yin Yoga requires; you leave the mat feeling more mobile and free.  

At this one-day only specialty workshop, you will also receive our signature AHA Yoga study guide that includes a list of postures so you can remember what we practiced and also continue practicing at home. This is a great sequence for runners, weightlifters, and other athletes, though it is also beneficial for those of us who have sedentary jobs or inactivity habits, and simply need more flexibility and acceptance in our life.
