Yin Yoga Workshop w/ Chip Hartfranft

Shine On yoga and Wellness welcomes Chip Hartranft for an afternoon of Yin Yoga.

If you’re looking to slow down, stretch your body, and still your mind, Yin Yoga is the perfect practice for you. 

During this workshop students will learn all about Yin Yoga practice, Chip will move students through a series of poses – holding each for two to five minutes (or longer). Many poses are done either seated or reclined, as your muscles need to be relaxed for this practice to work most effectively. While in each pose, you will work on connecting to your physical body and emotions, and on finding stillness within the stretch. Yin offers props like blankets, blocks, bands, or bolsters for additional support during class.
