Signature Protocol
Yin Yoga
A slow-paced style where asanas are held for longer periods to stimulate meridians and connective tissues, promoting circulation and flexibility.
Protocol Anatomy
Yin Yoga is the perfect counterbalance to high-intensity, 'yang' styles of exercise. Originating from Daoist concepts, it involves holding passive, floor-based postures for several minutes to gently apply tension to the deep connective tissues—fascia, ligaments, and joints. This meditative practice relies heavily on gravity and surrender rather than muscular effort. It stimulates the meridian channels associated with traditional Chinese medicine, emotional release, and energetic unblocking.
