Waterfall Yoga is a Yin Yoga Studio in Northwest Tucson. We specialize in total body wellness by harmonizing the 5 dimensions of the body through stillness, introspection, and gentle release. What is Yin Yoga? Yin Yoga is a slower more introspective yoga practice with its roots in Chinese Medicine. The cooling passive energy of Yin complements the active strong Yang energy that many of us function in day after day. The Yin practice allows us to slow down and bring our bodies into balance. Starting in the physical body, Yin Yoga releases stress and tension from the fascia connective tissues by holding poses for longer periods of time (typically 3 – 10 minutes.) Deep relaxation is encouraged by safely supporting the body using various props, finding your individual edge of comfort, and settling into stillness. Once our physical body softens, our mental, emotional, energetic, and spiritual bodies can heal as well.
