SIMPLY YIN

What Yin Is

Yin yoga focuses on holding postures for longer periods of time, allowing the muscles to soften so the deeper connective tissues can be reached.

The practice is quiet and internal. There’s no emphasis on flow, intensity, or achievement. Shapes are simple. Time does most of the work.

Yin creates space — not by doing more, but by staying.

Why It Anchors My Practice

Yin supports everything else I do.

Running, strength, and daily movement all benefit from the release and range that yin creates. More importantly, yin provides balance — a counterpoint to pace, effort, and external stimulation.

When yin is consistent, the rest of my movement stays grounded.

How I Practice

My yin sessions are straightforward:

• 5–10 poses

• held for 2–8 minutes

• supported with props as needed

There’s no fixed sequence. I choose shapes based on how my body feels that day and what needs attention.

Some sessions are short. Some are longer. The structure stays loose on purpose.

Simply Yin is not a class or a program.

It’s meant to be returned to, not completed.
