The emphasis of Yin Yoga is on deep stretching, holding poses for several minutes at a time. It targets the opening of the connective tissues in the hips, pelvis and lower spine. It is typically in the tissue of the ligaments surrounding the bones and joints of the lower body that people find discomfort due to lack of full extension, flexion and rotation in our daily lives, and in the more traditional dynamic yoga practices (Yang styles). On an energetic level, the deep stretching activates the flow of prana in areas of the body that become blocked due to stress and emotional trauma. Improving flexibility and balance, Yin Yoga is the perfect compliment to an active yogic lifestyle and is open to all levels of skill. While yin practice is a slow pace, it can be very challenging due to the duration of the poses.

Kripalu yoga is the practice of revitalizing the body, calming the mind and deepening self-awareness. It brings our body, mind and soul into a state of balance and harmony practicing awareness of ourselves, one another and our surroundings. Kripalu teaches us to live in our present. The deeper the practice the deeper the tranformation, allowing us to attend to our trapped emotions and unproductive thinking. It encourages us to create space within ourselves by letting go of stale thoughts as well as to listen to what our body needs here and now. We are given the space to explore and open our hearts, settle into our bodies and explore the life force, prana. "Breath, Relax, Feel, Watch, Allow."
