Yin Yoga: Still, quiet and deep
September 17th, 2011 - Saturday 2:00 - 5:00 PM
Prerequisites: None
Spend a light and relaxing afternoon with a series of restorative floor postures that will help to
cultivate and enhance your range of motion. Yin yoga is a quiet, peaceful practice that will deepen your concentration and ready your mind for meditation. As you surrender your body to gravity, yin postures create a slow, steady compression and gentle traction that moisturize joints and nourish ligaments, helping them to grow healthier, stronger and more pliant.
