Yin Yoga is a very gentle style of yoga practice that puts pressure on the connective tissues of the body in order to open restrictions physically and energetically. Most postures are done on the floor and are held for a longer period of time, sometimes using props such as blankets. These postures encourage more flexibility and encourage the energetic meridians to open.
