RESTORATIVE + YIN YOGA
Please join us for Coastside Yoga's introductory class to Restorative/Yin Yoga.
Restorative yoga is about taking it slow as we slow down our bodies, and our minds, and embrace this restful yoga practice that holds poses (asanas) for a longer duration using props such as yoga blocks, blankets, and bolsters. Through the use of props for support, the postures are held almost effortlessly.
Restorative yoga is a practice of deep relaxation that emphasizes the meditative aspect of yoga; the union of mind, body, and spirit.
Yin yoga targets your deep connective tissues, like your fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. It’s slower and more meditative, giving you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body.
Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga where the postures are held for 3-5 minutes. Because poses are held for a longer period of time than you would in other traditional types of yoga, Yin yoga helps to stretch and lengthen those rarely-used tissues, while also teaching you how to breathe and relax through the stretching, and sit with your thoughts.
This practice also helps prepare the body for seated meditation practices.
While both Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga are slow-paced and stress-relieving practices, they are different. Yin yoga is focused on stretching and applying gentle stress to certain tissues. Restorative Yoga is centered on supporting your body, allowing it to relax and heal.
In this class you will experience a combination of both Restorative and Yin yoga as you will have the opportunity to customize the poses to fit what your body needs in the moment.
In a seventy-five (75) minute class, the last ten (10) minutes of class will focus on mindful meditation.
This Class is Unheated.
All Level Class: Beginners are Welcome.
