🧘 Yoga & Movement

Yin Yoga

Long, quiet holds that release the deep fascia and open the body's meridian lines.

Ancient Origin

A modern practice with ancient roots — developed in the 1980s–90s by Paulie Zink, Paul Grilley and Sarah Powers from Taoist yin practice and traditional Hatha, and now beloved worldwide as an antidote to pace.

What It Helps With

Deep tension, busy mind, stiff joints — a body and nervous system that never quite let go.

About This Practice

Yin yoga inverts the logic of most practice: instead of strengthening muscle, it targets the deep connective tissue — fascia, ligaments, joints — with postures held for minutes at a time, supported by props and met with stillness. It is meditation performed with the body.

How a Session Works

Each shape is an invitation, not an instruction: you settle at a comfortable depth, breathe, and let time do the releasing. Along the body's meridian lines (drawing on Chinese medicine), long holds nourish the organs and quiet the nervous system into rest-and-restore.
