Join Dorinda one Sunday each quarter for an afternoon of thoughtfully sequenced, long-held yin yoga poses designed to release tension in the body and promote relaxation and balance. By targeting the deepest layers of the body, a regular yin yoga practice instructs the mind and body to find a sense of calm and inner peace.
About Yin Yoga:
Yin yoga involves working with the body’s connective tissues and meridians (energy channels) to promote relaxation, joint health, flexibility and overall well-being. A yin yoga practice consists of a series of long-held passive stretches done on the floor, using a variety of yoga props to support the body. Practitioners are encouraged to work at their appropriate edge, remaining still in a pose for 1 to 5 minutes.
This mildly stresses joints and adds a tensile load to connective tissue. This applied and targeted tensile load triggers a complex cellular process that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, increasing joint adaptability and agility. The slow and meditative nature of yin yoga activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for body restoration and rest. This activation reduces stress and anxiety, lowers blood pressure, and promotes overall well-being.
A minimum of 6 months consistent yoga practice is recommended.
