So what is Yin yoga?
Yin yoga is a slow, deep, silent and self seductive practice. It targets our ligaments, joints, bones and the deeper tissues within our bodies. The facia is a thin layer of film that dances around our entire body.
Stressing this fascia is a major element of a Yin yoga practice, this stressing is achieved by remaining within the posture for several minutes. A Yin yoga practice provides us with the missing elements of a Yang yoga practice.
Which is usually fast paced, moving the body actively and dynamically to the flow of our breath. One might describe Yin as the opposite to or other half of a Yang yoga class. We need both, contrast creates balance, without the day one cannot know the night.
