What Makes Yin Yoga So Different…
And Why So Many Women Return to It Again and Again
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 slow down, tune in, and soften in ways that extend far beyond the physical body.
This is a quiet, grounding, and deeply relaxing practice that works into the connective tissues of the body—like your ligaments, joints, bones, and deep fascia networks—through longer-held, floor-based 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 and feel more at ease in your body.
Over time, Yin can support mobility, nourish the joints and connective tissues, ease tension, and help your body feel more open—but the physical benefits are only part of the experience.
Many women return to Yin again and again for the way it supports their whole being—body, mind, and spirit.
You might be craving…
a slower pace and quiet moments
relief from stress, overwhelm, and a constantly busy mind
more presence in your body and breath
space to soften, stretch, and let go
deeper, more restorative sleep
more ease and mobility in your joints and body
a practice that meets you exactly where you are
If you saw yourself in even one of the above, then Pressing Pause or a Private Yin Circle is a supportive place to begin.

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!

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.”
