Yin Yoga at Yoga Highlands
2026-08-17 18:00 | Yoga Highlands, 460 Carolina Way, Highlands, NC, 28741, United States
Yin Yoga was founded on the Taoist theory of yin and yang – opposite concepts that, together, represent balance. Yin is stable and passive, while yang is changing and active. The yin poses, therefore, are passive and performed while seated or in a reclining position. The poses are held with the muscles fully relaxed, allowing time and gravity to deepen the stretch and gentle release.
