Yin for Athletes
In this class for athletes (and everyone), we take a yin approach to working around the hips. In long holds of still poses on the floor, you'll sharpen your focus, develop a meditative awareness, and tune in to the subtle - and not so subtle - movement of energy in your body. Take the time for this quiet practice and finish with a new sense of centeredness and an openness in your hips and spine. A bolster, blocks and blankets or homemade equivalents will be needed to support the long holds.
