Yin yoga is a gentle type of yoga that focuses on holding poses for longer periods. It targets the deep connective tissues in your body, like ligaments and fascia, to increase flexibility and improve joint mobility.
Yin Yoga is all letting gravity do the work, and finding stillness in poses to help release tension and promote a sense of calmness.
Yin yoga combines traditional Hatha yoga with the ancient wisdom of Chinese Traditional Medicine, incorporating the concept of meridians, energy pathways in the body. Practicing yin yoga is said to stimulate these meridians, balancing the body’s energy flow and enhancing overall well-being.
Yin yoga also has a powerful impact on the parasympathetic nervous system, the part of our nervous system responsible for relaxation and restoration. When we hold gentle poses for an extended time in yin yoga, it triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and allowing the body and mind to recover.
