Yin yoga is a gentle yet profound practice that focuses on deep stretching of the connective tissues, such as ligaments, tendons, and fascia, with an emphasis on relaxation and stillness.

Central to yin yoga is the principle of finding one’s edge—the point where sensation is felt but not overwhelming or painful. Each pose is held passively, without muscular effort, allowing the body to gradually release tension and open up. Props such as bolsters, blankets, and blocks are often used to support the body and enhance comfort, enabling practitioners to sustain poses for extended periods.
