How hot is it? We do not adjust for humidity nor do we heat the room above 90 degrees. The temperature usually ranges between 80 & 85 degrees.
Yin Yoga
The practice of the Yin Yoga technique can help increase flexibility and overall body awareness.
Yin Yoga targets the deep, dense, rarely touched connective tissues- the tendons, ligaments and cartilage. The areas of the body generally targeted are between the navel and knees; the lower body. Yin postures are done primarily on the floor and held with little to no muscular effort for 2 to 5 minutes each. Connective tissues require long-holds and reasonable amounts of traction to be stimulated properly. The essence of Yin is yielding- learning how to not struggle and how to allow things to unfold naturally.
Since Yin Yoga postures gently stretch and rehabilitate the connective tissues that form our joints, it is the perfect compliment to Yang activity (vigourous yoga, running, weight training, etc.). You may enhance your yang practice dramatically with this technique. Active people probably need Yin Yoga more than anyone else! This may prove to be one of the your best yoga experiences yet as you develop new levels of awareness in each posture and alignment corrections. 1 hour 30 minutes.
Two of Jennifer Beyt Coffins Yin classes are available online at yogavibes.com
Opposites Attract and Spinal Stimulation.
Yinyasa
The fusion of Yin yoga and Vinyasa Flow creates an integrated, balanced practice.
In the first part of this class, we will focus on the yin yoga style to find release in our connective tissues and create space and integrity in both our joints and our minds while removing deep blockages to internal energy flows. The yin postures focus on the hips, pelvis, lower back, and knees, helping the body to remain supple at its core.
The yin portion of the class transitions into a more active yang portion. Yang yoga is the rhythmic, flowing repetition of movements that require strength and balance. A Yang practice emphasizes breath work and bandhas (internal locks) to facilitate heat generation and deep internal awareness thereby building on the release cultivated in the yin portion of the class.
Practicing in this way does amazing things for your back! Each class will consist of about 30 minutes of Yin Yoga and 1 hour Yang Yoga with Savasana (relaxation) at the end of class. 1 hour 30 minutes.
