What does vinyasa yoga involve?

Long-held Poses: Poses are held for longer periods (typically 3–5 minutes or more) to stretch deep tissues.
Passive Approach: Unlike more active styles like Vinyasa or Ashtanga, Yin yoga focuses on releasing tension and surrendering into the pose, rather than actively engaging muscles.
Focus on Connective Tissue: Yin yoga targets deep connective tissues (like fascia and ligaments) to help improve flexibility and mobility in the body.
Mindfulness and Meditation: It’s often paired with mindfulness and meditation, allowing practitioners to stay present and focus on breath and body sensations.

Yin yoga benefits

Increased Flexibility: Yin yoga helps to improve flexibility by gently stretching and targeting deep tissues that aren't usually activated in more active yoga styles.
Improved Joint Health: By holding poses for extended periods, yin yoga stimulates the joints and improves their range of motion, which can be particularly beneficial for those with joint stiffness or discomfort.
Enhanced Circulation: The long holds in poses encourage better blood flow and can aid in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues, promoting healing and vitality.
Stress Relief: The slower pace and mindfulness of yin yoga help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels.
