In Yin Yoga we hold poses for an extended time. This lets the body slowly stretch and release tension in the muscles and the deep connective tissues, such as the fascia, ligaments and joints.

The slow, meditative pace also builds awareness and mindfulness. Our candlelit sessions add to the peaceful atmosphere and deepen the relaxation.

The benefits of Yin yoga

  • Flexibility. Long, gentle stretches improve your range of motion and reduce stiffness. This can help prevent injury and relieve pain.
  • Mental resilience. Staying with a pose for several minutes invites introspection. It can reduce stress and anxiety, sharpen focus and help protect against burnout.
  • Healthy joints. Long holds encourage blood and oxygen to flow through the body and gently stimulate the joints.
  • Deep relaxation. Soft lighting and a quiet room help you switch off completely.

If you’d like to go further, we also run a Yin Yoga teacher training.

Questions

How long are the poses held?
Usually between two and five minutes, sometimes longer. This gives the deeper tissues time to slowly release.
What's the difference between Yin and Restorative yoga?
Yin gently stretches the connective tissues through long holds. Restorative is about complete rest, with props supporting the body so you can let go.
Can I practise Yin yoga online?
Yes. Yin classes run in the studio and are also available online.
