Introduction to Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga that uniquely targets connective tissues, such as your ligaments, tendons, and fascia, unlike the more vigorous “yang” styles of yoga. This practice offers a perfect balance to the fast-paced lifestyles experienced by many today, making it an essential part of maintaining overall health and flexibility.
