Yin Yoga is a slow-paced, meditative style where poses are held for extended periods, typically ranging from 3 to 5 minutes or more. It targets the deep connective tissues of the body, such as ligaments, fascia, and even joints, rather than the muscles.
By holding poses for longer durations in a relaxed manner, practitioners can release tension, increase flexibility, and promote a sense of calmness and introspection.
This practice often involves minimal props and encourages mindfulness and deep breathing to facilitate the release of physical and emotional stress.
