Yin Yoga offers a slower pace of yoga with the intention of gently releasing tensions, knots and tightness in the body through longer holds (minimum of 3 minutes).
Shapes (postures) are often supine on the mat and supported with cushions, blankets or props. This practice can be very healing both physically and emotionally by accessing certain meridian points in the various shapes and easing tension in the muscles. As we hold the shapes, the fascia (connective tissue) begins to release which also helps support the healthy functioning of tendons and ligaments.
As the deep fascia releases, it moves from a crystallised state to a liquid state, and then to gas, before finally dispersing. Through the changing states, the practitioner often feels a great release, or simply lighter, as any trauma or stuck energies locked away in a tight fascia moves through too.
Yin is not recommended during pregnancy, and please be advised it is not a completely restorative practice.
Level: All levels
