Yin Yoga class focuses on long-held, passive stretches that target the deep connective tissues, such as ligaments, joints, and fascia. Unlike more dynamic yoga styles, Yin encourages stillness and a meditative approach. Poses are typically held for 3-5 minutes or longer, allowing the body to relax deeply into the stretch. The practice is slow-paced and emphasizes breath awareness, helping to promote flexibility, release tension, and cultivate mindfulness. It's often used to balance out more intense or active exercises and to enhance overall relaxation and mental clarity
