]]>Yin Yoga
Yin yoga targets the body’s deep connective tissues and is ideal for increasing overall flexibility and range of motion in the joints. While it can certainly promote relaxation as well, this style of yoga is not necessarily easy. Poses are typically held for about 3-5 minutes and can become quite uncomfortable after a while. Practitioners are encouraged to find a sense of stillness and breathe through the discomfort, making yin yoga an exercise in mindfulness, as well.
Restorative Yoga
Restorative yoga, on the other hand, offers a gentler, more nurturing experience with a focus on comfort and deep rest. Props such as bolsters and blankets are used to support the body in various poses, and yoga teachers will often play calm, slow music and dim the lights to create a relaxing atmosphere.
Choosing the Right One for You
As with any form of fitness, it’s essential to consider your goals when choosing between yin and restorative yoga. Both can be effective for releasing physical and emotional tension, but if you’re open to a challenge and want to work on flexibility, yin yoga may be more appropriate. For deep relaxation and self-care, stick with restorative yoga.

]]>What is Yin Yoga?
Yin yoga is a relaxed and gentle form of yoga that involves long poses, deep breathing, and poses that target your deep connective tissues. It is based on ancient Eastern philosophy and Taoist principles.
The goal of a yin yoga class is to focus on each individual asana, rather than moving through them in a dynamic sequence. A pose may be held for anywhere from 3-20 minutes. Poses usually focus on stretching deeper tissues in the spine, hips, sacrum, and shoulders.

]]>Yin Yoga
This style of yoga involves holding poses for much longer than other styles of yoga, up to about 5 minutes or even longer if it feels right for you. Slow, focused breathing is encouraged as you hold each pose. The objective of yin yoga is to deeply stretch connective tissue in order to boost circulation and increase flexibility. Poses most often practiced involve the hips and sacrum such as pigeon and butterfly pose.
Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa yoga involves much more movement than yin yoga. Every pose should align with an inhale or exhale so that both breath and movement are a continuous flow. While poses can be held for a few breaths each, in general, it is recommended to keep things fluid so as to move energy throughout the body.
Ashtanga Yoga
Ashtanga is the style of yoga most practiced in India, where yoga has its origins. This is a set series of 41 poses that are practiced in sequence and if you attend a class in this style, you’ll be expected to know the poses. It’s one of the most physically challenging styles and ideal for the more advanced yogi.
