Yin Yoga is a slower form of yoga with longer hold times than other styles of yoga like Vinyasa yoga. Most poses are done seated, prone or supine. The goal of Yin Yoga is to target the connective tissues like ligaments, tendons, and fascia with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. Since Yin poses are held longer we only start out at about seventy percent of our capability to find our edge in each pose. Hold times can vary per class. For beginners, hold times can start anywhere from 1-3 minutes per pose. Intermediate practitioners may experience holds of 3-5 minutes per pose while those that have been practicing longer may have worked up to 10 minute holds.
