Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga where postures are held up to five minutes at a time. Yin targets the body's connective tissues- fascia, ligaments, and tendons, through passive holds that increase circulation and hydration to fascia and joint tissues, and improve flexibility.

How warm is Warm Yin at Yoga Sol?

Our Warm Yin classes are slightly warmed to allow for muscle relaxation. The room is approximately 80°F-85°F. If you are naturally quick to sweat in warm environments, you might want to bring a towel to place over your mat or props.

What are the benefits of Warm Yin?

Yin improves joint mobility, reduces tension in the body, and supports stress reduction through its calm, slow-paced nature. Many students find it a valuable complement to more active yoga and fitness practices.

Is Warm Yin good for beginners?

Yes! Yin requires no prior yoga experience. The slower pace gives beginners time to create supportive positions without feeling rushed. Those who have difficulty slowing down the mind or feel overwhelmed with stress can truly benefit from a Yin practice.

How is Yin different from Restorative Yoga?

Both are slow, peaceful and floor-based. Yin targets specific areas of the body and applies mild, healthy stress to connective tissues to improve circulation, flexibility, and range of motion. Restorative Yoga uses multiple props to fully support the body in complete rest.

RELAX AND RENEW

Warm Yin

Yin is a slower style of yoga that focuses on long holds of passive postures, with frequent use of props to fully support the body in the shape of the pose. In Yin Yoga, we allow the muscles to relax so that the pose can exert gentle, healthy stress on the deeper tissues of the body (ligaments, fascia, etc.). Stillness and mindful breathing are important aspects of Yin Yoga, making it an excellent complement to more active, Yang styles of yoga.

The Details

80°-85°F

The room is gently warmed to 80°F to relax the muscles without the intensity of our hotter formats. Surrender and create space in a peaceful, warm setting.

75 min

During this 75 minute practice, passive poses are held from 1 to 5 minutes. Use of props helps to support the body for muscle relaxation around the target area to release tension, improve circulation, and bring hydration and nutrition to your cells.

All Levels Welcome

Yin has a slow pace. Most poses are done seated or laying down and there are specific recommendations for how to set up each pose and time to experiment with what will work best for your body. It's a cool complement to any active practice.

Warm Yin Yoga Etiquette

Please enter the practice room quietly. Many Yin practitioners enjoy the moments before class for meditation or to start relaxing and stilling their minds. Be aware that talking might disrupt this peace. Check which props the instructor has set up at the front of the room and collect the same ones for yourself before class begins. Keep the peaceful vibe throughout class and when your Savasana is complete, please exit silently.
