Yin Yoga is a slow-paced, meditative style of yoga that targets the deeper connective tissues—like fascia, ligaments, and joints—rather than the muscles. Poses are typically held for 3 to 5 minutes or longer, allowing for deep release and increased mobility, particularly in the hips, pelvis, and spine.
This practice encourages stillness, patience, and inward focus, making it an excellent complement to more active styles of yoga or athletic training. Yin Yoga also supports emotional balance and stress relief through deep, mindful breathing.
Best for: Improving flexibility, joint health, emotional release, and meditative stillness.
Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga is a deeply relaxing, gentle practice designed to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting healing, stress relief, and deep rest. Poses are fully supported using props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks, and are typically held for 5 to 20 minutes—without any muscular effort.
The focus is on complete physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. It’s especially helpful during times of high stress, fatigue, recovery from illness or injury, or as a regular reset for the nervous system.
Best for: Deep relaxation, stress relief, nervous system support, and recovery.
