Have you ever considered starting yoga and seeing by yourself how your body will feel after a yoga class?
Yin Yoga is the perfect complement to the more dynamic Yang styles of yoga or any other activity, and will enhance the overall progress and safety of everyone journey. Come and discover the benefits that Yin Yoga provides, and how much more open and balanced your body and practice will feel.
Yin Yoga, based in concepts of Taoist Yoga, emphasizes the connective tissues of the hips, thighs, pelvis and lower spine. It is characterized by the relaxed practice of floor asanas for at least minutes at a time. Yin yoga postures gently stretch and rehabilitate the connective tissues that form our joints, allowing us to maintain and restore joint flexibility and prevent degeneration.
Yang yoga provides enormous benefits for physical and emotional health, especially for those living a sedentary modern lifestyle. But it does not stretch the joints. If we do not exercise our muscles, they will atrophy and weaken. Similarly, if we do not stress our connective tissues, joints, they will shorten and stiffen due to injuries, neglect, and aging. As we do over and over the yin poses, we can re-grow and strengthen
the connective tissue.
But within Yin there is Yang, and within Yang there is Yin. And by bringing these fundamentals into harmony we can lead more balanced life on and off the mat.
