Yin Yoga is a passive, yet challenging style of Yoga. Yin stretches and targets both the deep connective tissues between the muscles and the fascia throughout the body. The aim is to increase circulation in the joints and improve flexibility. It helps create space in the mind and body. It also helps us to regulate the body's flow of energy.
Yin Yoga is a 'listening' practise that helps heal our hearts and minds. It allows us to be with ourselves, to be still and to notice what the body and mind are telling us. Most forms of Yoga are Yang and the two styles combined create a wonderful balance within your energy systems and a unique sense of calmness, physically and mentally.
Yin poses are typically held for 3 to 5 minutes in a steady hold, allowing the tissue to yield, allowing you to surrender!
Some Benefits of Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga aims to stretch connective tissues increasing circulation in the joints, improving flexibility. It also helps regulate the bodys flow of energy.
You can practise almost anywhere. You don't always need a mat. A cushion or bolster is always handy.
Yin Yoga is amazing for opening our hearts, calming our nervous system and provides space for the body to deeply relax. It allows us to recover and nourish ourselves, wash away fears and cultivate compassion and love for ourselves
Stress relieving! What better way to switch off than to sit still in poses for minutes at a time and simply breathing into the pose
Yin Yoga teaches us to be more intimate with ourselves. When we begin to practise, we learn to listen to our bodies, slowing everything down. We learn to recognise and experience our thoughts, watch them coming and going rather than having them race on like an escaped rollercoaster. This in turn increases our ability to be in the present moment and practise gratitude, slowly bringing us closer to our authentic self.
Yin teaches that whatever comes up, one breath at a time, will help us grow. As we hold our pose, the drama peaks,it gets harder to ignore the monkey mind and we start wanting to leave the pose. Yin teaches us to find a place of comfort in a not-so-comfortable place and observe our thoughts and reactions from a perspective of calmness.
