About Vin Yin
Vin Yin Yoga, also known as Yin Yang Yoga, is a unique practice that blends Vinyasa and Yin yoga into a single, balanced session. Classes typically begin with Vinyasa to warm up the body and release excess prana, or energy, before transitioning into the calming, lengthening effects of Yin Yoga. Together, this combination offers a genuine range of physical and mental benefits — read on to explore what each half of the practice brings to the mat.

What to Expect
Vinyasa Yoga is a flowing practice, moving with your breath through a continuous sequence of poses.
Yin Yoga involves holding poses for 3–5 minutes at a time. This deep, unhurried stretch is deeply relaxing and targets the connective and fascia tissue, gradually increasing flexibility.
Together, a Vin Yin class moves you from energizing movement into deep, grounded stillness — offering the benefits of both practices in one complete session.
