Yin Yoga
 



Susan Sandlin, L.Ac.,M.S.O.M., 
ERYT-500 

Susan has studied a variety of dance and movement forms since her teens and has been practicing yoga since 1987. She taught her first yoga class in 1992 and has been learning from students ever since. Some of her most inspirational teachers included Ganga White and Tracey Rich, Seane Corn, Shiva Rae, Paul Grilley, Saul David Raye, Sarah Powers, Eddie Modestini and Nikki Doane, Cyndi Lee, Catherine De Los Santos, Natasha Rizopoulos, and Annie Carpenter.
 

Yin Yoga has the same goals and objectives as any other school of yoga; however, it directs the stimulation normally created in the asana portion of the practice deeper than the superficial or muscular tissues (which we are calling the yang tissues). Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, bones, and even the joints of the body that normally are not exercised very much in a more active style of asana practice.


Suitable for almost all levels of students, Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat, and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles. Yin Yoga generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. Returns to the schedule Monday, January 9th!


Monday nights from 6:00 - 7:15 p.m.
