Yin Yoga: The Art of Finding Stillness and Giving the Body Rest
Yin yoga can offer stillness and give the body time to work. Yin yoga is based on Chinese medicine and works to get the energy (chi) flowing in the body. Therefore, this form of yoga primarily works with the connective tissue in either stretching or compression, and for the yoga to be effective, it is necessary to hold the positions for a long time—typically 3 to 8 minutes at a time.
When the positions are held for such long periods, the body has the opportunity to let go of the muscles and release tensions. The breath may flow a little easier and find peace. When you settle down, and your muscles relax, you may also be able to let go of your mind and thoughts.
When you practice Yin yoga, you will be able to train to:
- Let go of your body
- Let go of your breath
- Let go of your mind
Yin yoga looks calm and relaxed, but make no mistake. It is a strong therapeutic form of yoga that will bring you into close contact with your body.
