What Makes Yin Yoga So Different — And Why It’s the Self Care Practice You’ve Been Craving
Yin Yoga is unlike most movement practices — not only because of what you're doing, but because of how you're being. It invites you to go slow, tune in, and soften in ways that reach far beyond the physical body.
It is a quiet, deeply relaxing practice that works into the connective tissues of the body—like your ligaments, joints, bones, and deep fascia networks —through passive, longer-held floor poses (usually 3 to 5 minutes each). Props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks are often used—not just for support, but to help you settle in more fully, reduce resistance, and access deeper layers of stillness.
Yin can help improve joint mobility, enhance flexibility, release long-held tension, and even support better sleep—but the physical benefits are just the beginning.
Many women return to Yin again and again for the way it supports their whole being—body, mind, and spirit.
Does this sound like you? You’re craving ...
Slower pace and quiet moments
More presence in your body and breath
Space to soften, stretch, and let go
Relief from stress, anxiety, and overthinking
Better sleep and nervous system support
Improved joint mobility and circulation
A practice that meets you exactly where you are
If you saw yourself in any of the above, then Pressing Pause might be just what you need..

“Erica is an incredible facilitator, space holder, and instructor. She immediately makes you feel seen and warmly welcomed. Each week's session was something I looked forward to. She made me feel comfortable and at ease the entire time. If you need accessible, physical support that can be woven into your life at home or on the go, I can't recommend Erica and Pressing Pause enough.”
~ Rachel C.
“Pressing Pause was the yin program I didn’t know I needed in my life. Spending time slowing down, in silence, with myself and other like-minded women allowed me the spaciousness to go deeper into my personal development journey. The combination of education and yoga learnings, inspirational quotes and quiet was magic. Physically I could feel the benefits of our practice all day. Highly recommend giving yourself this beautiful gift of community and physical healing if possible - it felt like a long, warm hug!
~ Lauren S.

She’s not just an instructor, she’s a caring guide who tailors her classes to meet everyone’s needs. Whether you are a beginner or seasoned yogi, she ensures you feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. Joining Pressing Pause was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my wellness journey. If you’re on the fence, take the leap - you won’t regret it.”

“Pressing Pause was an incredible experience. The intentionality of our instructor (Erica) truly set this class apart. Each session was thoughtfully designed, fostering a deep sense of mindfulness and connection to our practice … the small group setting was an asset in conjunction with our weekly interactions via Voxer.”
