In Studio - Yin Yoga
with Nicola Cory

Yin Yoga is a slow, meditative style of yoga that targets the deep connective tissues of the body—such as ligaments, fascia, and joints—rather than focusing on muscles. In a typical class, poses are held for longer periods, usually between 3 to 5 minutes, allowing the body to soften and open gradually. Most postures are seated or reclined, and props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks are often used to support comfort and stillness.

Yin Yoga is particularly beneficial for improving flexibility, joint mobility, and overall circulation. It also helps to calm the nervous system and support emotional balance, making it an excellent complement to more active forms of exercise or a busy lifestyle. The extended holds invite stillness, introspection, and mindful breathing—making it not just a physical practice, but also a deeply meditative one.

This practice is suitable for all levels, including beginners, athletes, those recovering from injury, or anyone seeking stress relief and a more reflective experience. Yin Yoga offers a powerful opportunity to slow down, tune in, and create space—both in the body and the mind.
