Yin Yoga is a slow, meditative style of yoga that invites stillness and deep release. Rather than flowing quickly from one pose to the next, Yin encourages you to linger—holding postures for three to seven minutes at a time. This gentle yet profound approach allows the stretch to reach beyond the muscles, into the body’s deeper connective tissues such as fascia, joints, and ligaments.
