What is Yin yoga?

Yin yoga has the same goals and objectives as any other school of yoga; however, it directs the stimulation normally created in the asana portion of the practice deeper than the superficial or muscular tissues (which we call the yang tissues). Yin yoga targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, bones and joints of the body that normally are not exercised very much in a more active style of asana practice.

Suitable for almost all levels of students, Yin yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat, and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles. Yin yoga generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis and lower spine.

The Yin schedule at Vegas Hot! Yoga & Pilates is as follows: Mon-Thurs 830-10pm, Fri 2-330pm, Sat 7-830pm and Sun 1030am-12pm. Come get your stretch on!
