Yin yoga is a branch of yoga that works deeply into our mind and body using mindfulness principles and passive, long held poses (3 to 5 minutes).  It targets the deep tissues of the body; our connective tissues that are critical for mobility and flexibility, strengthening our joints, ligaments, bones and fascia. The breath and body work during the practice also helps calm the nervous system and bringing about a sense of wellbeing and balance.Energetically, yin yoga improves our energy flow, enhancing the flow of chi/ prana in the organs offering physical, emotional and mental health benefits.
