Yin yoga complements your Yang practice by bringing harmony to your mind and body. Your Yang practice includes any vigorous and heating activity like vinyasa yoga, exercise, and our busy daily routines, where the focus is external, and you are constantly processing information.
Yin, on the other hand, creates a tranquil and cooling effect by drawing your attention inward and minimizing external stimuli. It involves holding supportive postures for extended periods of 3-5 minutes, allowing you to experience inner peace and self-reflection while also strengthening the ligaments, tendons, and tissues that support your joints.
During a Yin yoga practice, you can anticipate the use of props, a calm atmosphere, gentle movements to awaken your joints, and longer-held postures that facilitate stretching and releasing the connective tissues surrounding your muscles.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, Yin yoga is an ideal practice for everyone, where you'll walk away feeling grounded, calm, and balanced.
Dress comfortably in layers and wearing socks may be supportive.
