Gentle Yoga is a form of classical Hatha Yoga. It is however marked my a slower, gentler-paced practice to make it more accessible to people of all sizes, ages, and fitness levels.

Yin Yoga has the same goals and objectives as any other school of yoga; however, it directs the stimulation normally created in the asana portion of the practice deeper than the superficial or muscular tissues (which we are calling the yang tissues). Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, bones, and even the joints of the body that normally are not exercised very much in a more active style of asana practice. All asansas are seated or supine and are held for from two to five minutes It is a gentle, meditative, relaxing practice. Suitable for almost all levels of students, Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat, and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles. Yin Yoga generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine.(http://www.yinyoga.com/ys1_0.0_what_is_yin.php)
