What to expect
Yin Yoga is a contemplative style of yoga that involves holding poses for an extended period, typically three to five minutes or more. It is a slower-paced, more meditative form of the physical and spiritual discipline of yoga. Unlike other types of yoga that focus on engaging the muscles, Yin Yoga aims to target the connective tissues through passive holds and little muscular effort.
Yin yoga is meant to help promote balance within your body by working the deep connective tissues. It is a branch of hatha yoga, an ancient Indian practice that focuses on stretching and strengthening the physical body to prepare for sitting meditation.
Yin Yoga is based on three fundamental principles known as Tattvas: Edge, Stillness, and Time that are to be expected in every class. The edge refers to how deeply you go into each pose, which varies for each individual and is determined by the natural limits of your body. Props, such as blocks or blankets, can be used to support the body and help you find your edge. Once you find your edge, the goal is to remain still, and breathe deep and consistently, in the pose for an extended period of time, allowing the deep connective tissues to release. The length of time spent in each pose is an essential aspect of Yin Yoga, as it provides ample time to fully release and obtain maximum benefits.

It is amazing how wonderful my experience has been in this Westgate yoga community. I joined benefiting from the promo 30 days for $30. As a Jesus follower all of the meditative practices have enhanced my spiritual and mental journey! This being said you can come from whatever spiritual road you are on and it will support and teach mindfulness and calm. My body is 64 years old. I have struggled lower right side issue from shoulder to ankle issues from a fall several years ago. I came participating with the skills of a first time yoga student. I am utterly amazed at the difference I can feel on my right side. I am moving better and developing better balance with each class. I have enjoyed mutiple instructors and great time options. ALL of the teachers are great at modifying and encouraging! People and instructors are kind and respectful of each individual!!! I have started my unlimited membership and plan to enjoy each and every day!

I recently signed up for Flow Yoga Westgate’s 30-day trial for $30, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. The value is outstanding, especially considering the variety and quality of classes available. So far, I’ve tried Kundalini, Hatha, and Deep Chill Flow. Each class has been a unique and enjoyable experience, but the Hatha classes have stood out as my personal favorite. The instructors are knowledgeable, attentive, and create a welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy for beginners like me to feel comfortable. I highly recommend checking out Flow Yoga Westgate, whether you’re new to yoga or looking to expand your practice. With a great mix of class styles and times, you’re sure to find something that suits your schedule and preferences. Don’t miss out on this fantastic deal!
