• Relieves stress and tension in the body/mind/breath

  • Activates the "relaxation response" in the body - bringing balance to the autonomic
    nervous system

  • Gently stimulates and stresses the joints, deep connective tissue and fascia of the low
    back, hips, pelvis, spine and shoulders

  • Frees up fascial restrictions in the body -  elongating, nourishing and stimulating the
    connective tissue (joints, ligaments, tendons)

  • Compliments your active stretching and exercise routine

What is Yin Yoga?
  • A system of yoga
    accessible to everyone;
    all abilities and ages - No
    experience necessary!

  • Consists of long steady
    relaxed holds (primarily
    seated floor poses) for 3-
    5 minutes - poses are
    unhurried, quieting and
    still.

Is Yin Yoga Effective in Relieving Chronic Low Back Pain?

    The results of our 2010 study say ... YES!  And within a relatively short duration -
    showing significant improvement in just 4 weeks.

    In September 2010, an abstract of Michelle's work (in collaboration with Dr. Troy
    Allam, D.C., Craig Ranch Chiropractic, McKinney, TX), “Randomized Trial of Yin-Yoga
    and Relief of Chronic Low Back Pain,” was accepted and published in the WAIT,
    International Journal of Yoga Therapy, Supplement (2010).

    Michelle presented a poster of their work at the International Association of Yoga
    Therapist’s historic first Symposium on Yoga Research held October1-3, 2010, at the
    Himalayan Institute in Honesdale, PA.  Click here to view research poster.

    The study findings suggest Yin Yoga is a safe and effective treatment for improving
    certain indices of chronic low back pain and for improving lower limb function within a
    relatively short period of time.

How is a class structured?

    Participants will focus on calming their breath, mind and body

    Breath:  Soft, quiet, gentle and calm
    Mind: Focused on following the breath in and out of the body and on feeling
    sensations created by each pose
    Body: Kept still, calm and relaxed without sudden movement. Postures will be held
    passively with muscles intentionally relaxed, softened and released during the
    sustained holds of up to 3 – 5 minutes each
    Relaxation: Each session concluded with guided relaxation.

    Postures will move the hips and spine through the full range of motion

    Spine: Flexion, extension, lateral flexion and rotation
    Hips: Flexion, extension, external rotation, internal rotation, abduction and adduction

What are Yin Yoga Poses?
    A series of primarily seated floor poses held for 3-5 minutes with muscles relaxed.
