The premise of Yin yoga is simple, if a little counterintuitive: we use time, not effort, to create change in the body. This monthly workshop series at Chi-Town Shakti explores a different theme each month — beginning with Ahiṃsā, non-harming, the first of yoga's five Yamas and the ground the other four stand on. Held the first Saturday of every month; future dates and registration at the link below.
