Questions about Yin yoga in Wells

What is Yin yoga?

Yin yoga is a slow, meditative practice where poses are held for 3-5 minutes. It targets deep connective tissue — fascia, ligaments, joints — releasing tension that faster yoga styles don't reach.

How far is Frome from Wells?

About 25 minutes through the Mendips via Shepton Mallet. It's a scenic drive through Somerset countryside.

Can I do Yin yoga if I'm very tight?

Absolutely. Yin is ideal for tight bodies. We use props to make every pose comfortable, and the long holds give your body time to release gradually.

Is Yin yoga suitable for beginners?

Yes. There's no complicated sequencing — just simple poses held long enough to feel the benefit.

How is Yin different from Hatha yoga?

Hatha is more active — you move between poses. Yin is passive — you settle into poses and stay. Many students do both; they complement each other.
