Gentle Yin Yoga emphasizes mindfulness, making it ideal for beginners, those recovering from injury, or anyone looking to de-stress and cultivate a sense of calm. It’s less about physical intensity and more about nurturing the body and mind. The class typically starts with a calming warm-up, such as seated stretches or breathing exercises, to center the mind and body. The poses are held for longer periods, allowing the practitioner to deeply relax into each one, with options for modifications and support like props (blocks, straps, blankets) to ensure comfort. The flow is usually slow and controlled, with a focus on proper alignment and breath awareness. Poses might include gentle stretches, supported backbends, and seated or lying postures that encourage deep stretching and relaxation. The class often ends with a soothing savasana (final resting pose) to bring a sense of peace and tranquility.
