Yin Yoga

  • Circle Yoga 3838 Northampton St NW Washington, DC 20015 (map)

I am subbing this class.

Yin Yoga is a quieter practice that uses gentle, long-held poses to target the body's connective tissues—including tendons, ligaments, and fascia—and cultivate relaxation. By holding poses for several minutes, this practice can help improve joint mobility within your natural range of motion and release deeply held tension and habitual holding patterns in the body. The slower rhythm of Yin Yoga encourages you to turn inward, fostering a calm, reflective state of mind. As you settle into each pose, there’s space to observe your posture, breath, and thought patterns with greater awareness.

This class is suitable for beginners and more experienced practitioners, as well as weekend warriors who are looking to complement other types of physical activity.
