What is Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is a slow and meditative style of yoga where postures are held for longer durations, typically 3 to 5 minutes or more. Unlike dynamic yoga styles, Yin Yoga works deeply on the connective tissues, joints, ligaments, and fascia rather than muscles.

It is based on the principles of stillness, awareness, and deep internal release, making it highly effective for stress reduction and emotional healing.
