About the Program

Yin Yoga, often defined as still and contemplative yoga, is a slower paced, more meditative style of practice. Yin fosters a sense of balance in both our bodies and minds, offering lawyers a unique opportunity for self-awareness.

Given the high stress and emotionally charged environments lawyers frequently navigate, Yin invites us to pause and observe the body’s “fight-or-flight” responses without the interference of the ego. Beyond the mental benefits, holding Yin Yoga shapes for longer durations targets the deeper connective tissues, which can enhance mobility and increase blood flow for those experiencing stiffness from prolonged sitting.

This session will explore how Yin Yoga can improve your overall capacity to remain present during moments of discomfort, ultimately supporting both your professional and personal well-being. The presenters will also guide you through a few Yin Yoga shapes to easily utilize in your office and at home.
