How can slowing down help you access a deeper state of physical release? Join Corina Benner to explore the yoga fundamentals through a restorative, slow-paced practice designed to target deep connective tissues.
This Level 1 class offers an accessible entry point to yin yoga fundamentals, making it an ideal gentle yin yoga practice for those seeking relief from daily stress. By focusing on the fundamental principles of yoga, you will learn how to safely support your body using props like blocks and blankets.
Unlike more active, muscular styles of yoga, this gentle yoga practice focuses on the passive holding of postures to target the deeper yin tissues of the body, such as the fascia, ligaments, and joints. Corina Benner guides you through each shape with clear, mindful instructions, ensuring that yin yoga for beginners feels safe, accessible, and deeply nurturing. By holding poses for longer durations, you allow the nervous system to shift into a state of rest and recovery, which helps dissolve chronic tension.
The areas targeted in this session, specifically the heart, hips, and shoulders, are common repositories for emotional and physical tension. Through gentle, sustained holds, you will create space in these vital regions, encouraging a free flow of energy throughout the body. This approach serves as an excellent introduction to the yoga basics for beginners, offering a quiet space to connect with your breath and cultivate inner stillness. With the support of two blocks and a blanket, you will learn to honor your body's unique boundaries while gently encouraging greater flexibility and mental clarity.
Begin your exploration of restorative yin yoga and discover the power of conscious release. Whether you are stepping onto the mat for the first time or returning to refine your practice, this session provides the tools you need to cultivate a balanced, mindful lifestyle.
