The Power of Stillness: Why You’ll Love Yin Yoga at Oshun
In a world that’s constantly on the go, Yin Yoga invites you to slow down, soften, and surrender.
At Oshun Yoga, our Yin classes are an opportunity to press pause, drop into your body, and reconnect with the quieter parts of yourself. It’s more than just a stretch - it’s a deeply nourishing practice that supports both physical and emotional wellbeing.
What is Yin Yoga?
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced, meditative style of yoga where poses are held for longer periods - typically 3 to 5 minutes, to target the deep connective tissues, such as fascia, ligaments, and joints.
Rather than focusing on muscular strength or fast transitions, Yin encourages stillness, softness, and presence.
The Benefits of Yin Yoga:
Increases flexibility and joint mobility
Holding poses for extended periods gently opens the body and helps release tightness stored in deeper tissues.
Promotes relaxation and nervous system regulation
Yin activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping reduce stress, anxiety, and tension.
Improves circulation and energy flow
The slow, steady holds stimulate energy meridians and encourage better chi (or prana) movement throughout the body.\
Enhances mental clarity and mindfulness
With fewer poses and longer holds, Yin invites deep introspection, patience, and a meditative mindset.
Supports emotional release
Stillness often brings buried emotions to the surface, allowing for gentle processing and letting go.
