Yin Yoga calms, heals, and restores while actually strengthening the deepest foundation of our structure. This gentle but effective approach to asana practice can enhance our flexibility, provide ease of movement and increase range of motion, bring increased vitality and health to the organs of our body, as well as inner focus, clarity, and relaxation. This practice is suitable for all levels.
While many styles of yoga practice promote strengthening and stretching of muscles, a complementary Yin style practice addresses the need for strength and elasticity in the connective tissues of the body (tendons, ligaments and fascia) for optimum health and function. Yin Yoga is a quiet practice of long-held passive poses, which helps to release stress in the joints and unlock tense connective tissue. When the body is slowly encouraged to release and relax through the assistance of gravity, the mind becomes quiet, still and peaceful, allowing each person to experience their own inner nature.
Each person experiences the Yin practice differently. But one thing that we all share is that our life experiences live in our body. The Yin practice creates an environment that allows us to easily explore the subtleties of the emotional, energetic and physical aspects of our being. Usually we want to get rid of, deny, or run from our obstacles. If we instead turn toward them, the energy that is locked up in the resistance is often liberated and becomes transformative.
