Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga that involves holding passive postures for extended periods—typically between 2 to 5 minutes or even longer. Unlike more dynamic practices like Vinyasa or Power Yoga, Yin targets the deep connective tissues of the body—such as ligaments, fascia, and joints—rather than muscles. It’s rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles and often complements more active “yang” styles of exercise.
