NEW POST: “Wait… what is Yin Yoga?”
Yin is slow, still, and surprisingly deep.
We hold poses for a few minutes—not to stretch muscles, but to gently work the joints, fascia, and energy lines.
It’s not a workout… it’s a softening.
“So… is it like restorative yoga?”
They look similar, but feel very different.
In restorative, the body is fully supported and resting. In Yin, we invite some sensation—just enough to wake up the tissue and energy.
Still slow, still grounded—but definitely more active in its stillness.
“Where does this practice come from?”
Yin is rooted in Daoist philosophy and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
It’s all about balance—yin and yang, the five elements, and the flow of Chi (energy) through meridians.
The modern version was shaped by Paul Grilley and Sarah Powers in the ’90s. It’s East-meets-West in the best way.
Three simple principles:
Find your edge
Be still
Stay for time
That’s it. No fancy poses. No pushing. Just you, your breath, and what rises up in the quiet.
“What’s it good for?”
Honestly… so much:
Mobility & joint health
Emotional release (yep, tissues hold memories)
Calming the nervous system
Rebalancing your energy
Yin gives your body and mind space to digest life.
“But I’m not flexible…”
Perfect.
You don’t need to be bendy—Yin meets you exactly where you are.
We adapt poses for your body, not the other way around.
I’ve even taught Yin to folks in chairs and beds. Energy flows where attention goes.
“Do I need special props?”
Nope.
A mat, a cushion, maybe a blanket. Or your sofa…
Yin isn’t about the setup—it’s about the pause.
(Though I’m a fan of turning household stuff into props. Dining chairs? (ahhaha the kitchen sink!)
Curious? Come try a class.
If you’ve been craving stillness, depth, or just a new way to be with your body—this might be it.
And hey—don’t worry if your mind is chatty or your hamstrings tight.
That’s why we practice.

I try to offer as many adaptations as I can.
