Yin Yoga

Nothing prepares your body for hours of seated meditation as well as a regular yin yoga practice. Most of us yogis for many years experience the challenging sensations and discomfort to our creaky knees, sore backs, and aching hips that can accompany long hours of a seated quiet practice.

What is Yin Yoga?

Yin yoga is the opposite to the heating strong practises of Vinyasa asana that we practice here in the west that are thought to be yang in nature. Yin yoga are practices that focus on passive stretching of the connective tissue of the body (ligaments, tendons and myofascia), and cooling quiet practices for our nervous system such as pranayama, Yoga Nidra and meditation.
Yin Yoga approach works to promote flexibility in areas often perceived as non-malleable, especially the hips, pelvis, and lower spine with the emphasis on releasing muscles and joints as opposed to contracting skeletal muscle to stabilise our joints.
