Rest, Relax, and Recharge with YIN/Restorative postures to stretch and increase flexibility, while taking time to quiet our minds and bring stillness and peace to our bodies. We will begin with a gentle yoga flow, using YIN yoga poses that help encourage deep relaxation to leave you feeling grounded and present! The Mayo Clinic reports research has shown that stretching can help improve flexibility and, as a result, the range of motion of your joints. 
Better flexibility may:
Improve your performance in physical activities;
Decrease your risk of injuries;
Help your joints move through their full range of motion;
Increase muscle blood flow;
Enable your muscles to work most effectively;
Improve your ability to do daily activities.
