Thanksgiving Yin Yoga Pop-Up

About this event

This lovely sequence focuses on digestion and releasing tension in your hips, shoulders, hamstrings, and low back, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and comfortable in your own body. Unlike other styles of yoga, Yin Yoga emphasizes deep connective tissue—fascia, ligaments, and tendons—rather than muscles. By holding poses passively, this meditative practice improves flexibility, strengthens joints, and increases range of motion and overall stability. During the class, you will practice the three core principles of Yin Yoga: 1. Find your edge: Respect your body's limits without pushing too far or risking injury, allowing yourself to naturally go deeper over time. 2. Be still: Relax your muscles completely and breathe deeply through your nose without fidgeting, allowing the benefits to reach your joints and connective tissues. 3. Hold the pose: Stay in postures for anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes depending on the pose and your personal comfort level. Optional Prerequisites or Notes: All are welcome. Props available for all include straps, blocks, and tennis balls. Optional bring your own mat towel or blanket for joint support and eye mask.
