Overview Session
Yin Yoga

What is Yin Yoga ?

Yin Yoga is a form of yoga characterized by slowness and easing your mind and body through deep stretch poses. Yin is mostly about long-held poses, with their duration ranging from 2 to 5 minutes.

Yin Yoga is an ideal way to unlock tension, gain flexibility, calm the nervous system and restore a balanced state of mind and body.

What is Yang Yoga ?

Yang yoga contrasts with Yin Yoga’s pace and refers to a practice of active kind including Hatha and Vinyasa. Yang practice helps build strength, endurance and energy thanks to constant movements that warm up the body, improve blood circulation and heat your body. Yang practice contributes to enhancing your fitness level.

Yin and Yang yoga practices can be combined in a harmonious way so that where Yin is responsible for relaxation and stillness, Yang will create strength and energy.
