In yin, we hold postures for several minutes to target the fascia and connective tissues, while restorative postures offer supported rest and healing for the whole body.
The practice closes with a 15-minute guided meditation, inviting deep stillness, clarity, and inner peace. Perfect for anyone seeking balance, stress relief, or a return to their authentic self. Please bring your own mat!
