Yin Yoga with Nadine Shaw in Pinole
with Nadine

Yin Yoga is the perfect complement to a hectic, fast paced life or intense workouts. Yin Yoga is about "allowing" as opposed to "creating". In Yin Yoga we hold relaxing postures for 3-5 minutes at a time to alleviate tension , enhance breath awareness and develop mindfulness. "Innercise" is what Yin Yoga is about -- concentrating on the deep and connective tissues, fascia and allowing the muscles a little break. Allow the pose rather than create the pose with Yin Yoga. Let the stillness bring you in connection with your feelings, sensations, thoughts and space. All levels are welcomed. No prior yoga experience required.
