In this 60 minute class, you will gain the benefits of yin, concentrating on the connective tissues to become more elastic, and a solid yang vinyasa, strengthening the bigger muscle groups.

While yang yoga activates the larger, structural muscles; yin yoga targets an edge within the deep layers of connective tissues and joints to bring a sense of relaxation and stillness in the mind and body.

Seated meditation is a yin activity, not just because it is still but because it depends on the flexibility of the connective tissue.

If you gently stretch connective tissue by holding a yin pose for a long time, the body will respond by making them a little longer and stronger — which is exactly what you want.

By extension, exercise that focuses on muscle tissue is yang; exercise that focuses on connective tissue is yin.
