Practices Offered

  • Yin yoga uses passive poses held for long stretches, usually 3–10 minutes.

    Below are the benefits:

    • Slow, long-held gentle poses stimulate the vagus nerve, promoting relaxation, lowering heart rate and blood pressure, and decreasing stress hormones.

    • Regular practice can significantly improve sleep quality.

    • Paying attention to subtle internal sensations sharpens self-awareness and strengthens neural pathways for managing emotions and stress.

    • Sustained poses encourages collagen production, promote lymphatic flow, stretches fascia, reduces stiffness, and enhances range of motion.

    • Movement and pressure help pump fluids through tissues for nourishment, and calming the fascia can decrease pain signals and muscle tension.

  • Restorative yoga uses passive holds, often supported by props like bolsters ans blankets.

    Below are the benefits:

    • By engaging the parasympathetic nervous system, restorative yoga encourages a state of deep rest, reducing stress levels and easing anxiety.

    • The calming effects of restorative poses can enhance sleep patterns, aiding in better rest and rejuvenation.

    • Prolonged relaxation supports immune function by reducing stress hormones, thus allowing the body's natural defense mechanisms to operate more effectively.

    • Gentle stretches held over time improve flexibility and joint mobility without straining the muscles, promoting overall joint health.

    • By providing a safe space to explore and release emotions, restorative yoga can facilitate emotional healing and greater self-compassion.

    • The practice helps to balance the autonomic nervous system, promoting a sense of equilibrium and well-being.

  • Yin and Restorative yoga both use long holds and slow pacing, but their intentions, sensations, and setups are different.

    Yin = deep stretch & release

    Restorative = total support & passive rest
