Yin Yoga - weekly drop-in class with Jessica Grosman
Online
Yin Yoga is a practice that is appropriate and accessible for everyone and every body. This style of yoga seeks to slowly stretch and lengthen the fascia network in the body - the fascia, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage - which are less accessible to simple methods of stretching. Most Yin Yoga poses are seated or laying down, non-weight bearing and suitable for every level of fitness and flexibility. Props are often used to support the body; each pose is held for several minutes to allow the fascia to “melt”. The target areas are the hips, spine and pelvis - centers of energy and emotion in the body.
Adding a Yin Yoga practice to your life is a wonderful way to nourish your body, mind and spirit!
Suggested Props: yoga mat, yoga blocks (or thick books), yoga bolster (or firm pillow), yoga strap (or bathrobe belt), yoga blanket (or thick towel/blanket), eye-pillow for final relaxation (nice, but optional)
While I’d love to see you on your mat, please know that if you feel more comfortable with your camera off, I respect your decision.
