Chakra (cakra in Sanskrit) means “wheel” and refers to energy points in your body. They are thought to be spinning disks of energy that should stay “open” and aligned, as they correspond to bundles of nerves, major organs, and areas of our energetic body that affect our emotional and physical well-being.

Yin Yoga is the other half to the more physically demanding, Yang style of the Yoga practice. The more active practices are designed to work the Yang tissues of the body, the muscular half. In Yin we work with the Yin tissues; the connective tissues; the tendons; ligaments; joints. The deeper Yin tissues in the fascial networks and even the bones.
