Yin Yoga
A sixty-minute, floor-based practice with five or six shapes held for three to five minutes. Props support each position without forcing range.
Yin Yoga gives each shape time. Across sixty minutes, the class moves through five or six floor-based positions held for three to five minutes. Bolsters, blankets, and blocks make the setup more workable, and the goal is support rather than strain.

What a session looks like
Alina introduces each shape, gives time to arrange the props, and offers alternatives when a position is not workable. The holds are long enough to notice sensation without making intensity the goal. The class finishes with a short rest and a few minutes of unstructured stillness.
Support rather than strain
Yin includes some physical sensation, but pain is not a target. You can add props, reduce the range of a shape, change position, or come out early. Small classes leave room to ask a practical question without turning the session into a performance.
What to wear and bring
Wear comfortable layers that let you move and stay warm while still. Mats and props are available, so bringing your own is optional. If floor-based practice is difficult, ask about chair-based options or another adaptation before the session is confirmed.
