Yin Yang Yoga combines the benefits of passively holding yoga poses with dynamic movement sequences and standing postures.

Yin and Yang are relative: for example, we cannot know and appreciate Yang (the sunny side of the hill) without also understanding Yin (the shady side of the hill) and vice versa. In this class, we will explore these complementary forces as they pertain to exercise of the whole body; this is a yoga practice that stresses all tissues to bring balance to the body. The class will flow between Yin poses that target the deeper connective tissues and Yang-like repetitive strengthening movements for building endurance in the core. Attention is placed on form, technique, breath awareness and the mind-body connection.

In a yin yoga practice the long-held seated poses become opportunities for self-inquiry and awareness: the inherent slowness of yin helps us cultivate our capacity to hear our body's subtler signals and informs us of when, and how, to guide ourselves to our next movement (yang). The class ends with a longer guided savasana in the form of yoga nidra.
