Is yin yoga suitable for beginners?
Yes, especially so. There is no pace and no complicated transitions — you hold a few postures supported by blocks and bolsters.

Long-held postures, quiet breathing, nothing to achieve: yin yoga at our studio at Boxhagener Straße 96, 10245 Berlin — minutes from Ostkreuz and Boxhagener Platz.
What yin yoga is
In yin yoga you hold a few postures for several minutes — mostly seated or lying down, supported by bolsters and blankets. Instead of muscular effort it works with connective tissue, fascia and joints, and above all with time: the body gets enough of it to actually let go.
For many people it is the counterweight to a busy life. The breath lengthens, the nervous system shifts down a gear — often you only notice it in the minutes after class.
Who yin yoga suits
- Beginners who want to start without pace or vocabulary
- Anyone with a desk job and tight hips, back or shoulders
- Athletic people balancing strength and endurance training
- Evenings when you no longer want to perform, only unwind
How a class runs
Arrival, a short settling-in, then usually five to eight postures across 60 to 75 minutes. Everything is adaptable — we show variations with blocks, bolsters and straps so you land in stillness rather than in a stretch. A longer final relaxation closes the class.
Yin yoga and the Fire & Ice zone
Yin yoga combines well with heat and cold: the infrared sauna beforehand makes tissue more pliable, a Free-Flow slot afterwards extends the calm. Book them separately or together.
