WHAT IS YIN YOGA
Yin yoga is a slow-paced therapeutic style of yoga. The Yin postures are more passive postures, mainly on the floor seated or lying down. There are no sun salutations, no warriors or planks, and no dynamic movements.
There are two principles that differentiate a Yin yoga practice from our more active yoga styles, these are holding poses for a number of minutes which can be anything from 3 - 8 minutes, and stretching the connective tissue around a joint instead of focusing on the main muscles. The time spent within the poses, becomes an active meditation, as the mind shifts from yang to yin, from active to passive.
Within this workshop, you will learn all the fundamentals of the Yin yoga style of yoga to promote the effective personal practice and deepen your Yin yoga experience.
