Yin & Myofascial Release

About the Class

Yoga Shala brings two highly effective practices together, Yin & Myofascial Release, in an effort to address the whole body fascia system in the most efficient and effective way possible. What you can expect: Yin Yoga is a therapeutic approach to yoga. Through various reclined, seated, and grounded postures, deep layers of fascia are therapeutically stretched and attended to. The process allows for a release of chronic tension in the body and well as in the mind, as emotions can be released in the practice. Benefits include vitality, longevity, steadiness & ease in the mind and body. There are three tenets of Yin Yoga; to find your edge where you are experiencing the stretch, without forcing and creating pain, to remain still and to breath into greater depths, and stay for three to five minutes per posture. Students are encouraged to ease in and out of postures. Yin Yoga can be practiced by all and the slow pace compliments our other class offerings.  In this class you are invited well beyond the concept of “stretching” and into the depths of creating true myofascial transformation. Through application of PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation), pulsing, and massaging deep opening poses, you'll invite hydration and suppleness into previously stagnant holding patterns along with subtle shearing techniques and compassionate humor to all the places you didn't realize were bound - practice will leave you renewed and ready to enjoy your day more effectively.
