So, if you're looking to make a positive change in your life, step onto your mat and experience the holistic benefits of Yin Yoga. Yin yoga is simple. Yin Yoga is a quiet, meditative practice consisting of floor poses held for 3 to 5 minutes with the muscles relaxed in order to affect the body's connective tissues, joints and ligaments. On this page you'll find more information about Yin Yoga and a few themed sequences for home practice. The teacher training we provide allows the course-takers to learn and practice Yin Yoga in our studio. Yin yoga is characterized by slow-paced movements leading to a yogic posture and holding asanas for 2-5 minutes. Holding the Yin posture for some time, the body has to endure a period where all those aches and tensions start to release, and it can be mildly uncomfortable when that build up starts to let go.

Sarah Powers, who is credited with coining the term Yin Yoga says, "Yin Yoga teaches us the art of surrender, both on the mat and in life." Let us unpack how you can do just that. Bend over your legs and let your head hang. Once you’re lying down, bend your left knee and place your left foot on your right knee. Turn your head to the right when your right knee is up, and to the left when your left knee is up. Please note that the poses are best learnt from a qualified yoga teacher and the sequences provided here are for reference only. The great thing about yin yoga is that there aren't poses "more advanced" than others. Yin Yoga is accessible to students of all levels. It can be painful on all the three levels of your body; physically, mentally, and emotionally. We have shown you one that is perfect for all body types and all skill levels. It may sound a little intimidating, but trust me when I say it is quite possibly the most glorious experience you can have on a yoga mat. If you are currently suffering from any pain condition, it is best to seek professional advice before undertaking a yoga practice.

There should be no pain or pinching, but you should be feeling a change in your body. There are really only three, sometimes four, rules to follow. These tissues are stretched or compressed in a safe and balanced manner, to allow for smoother flow of chi or energy through the body, aiding joint lubrication and restoring vitality. Your "rebound" pose is something comfortable where you are still for about one minute allowing connective tissues to reform and rehydrate. While doing the asanas, you should also try to push yourself to the point where you feel a deep stretch in the connective tissues. And then you hit the zone of pain and it starts to feel uncomfortable because you're literally changing your cells and your tissue," says Mel. It made me observe my physical pain and notice, probably for the first time, my mental suffering. Move slowly into the shape of the pose, feeling for the first sensation of stretch or pressure, and stopping there at the balance point between comfort and challenge. Its inclusive nature makes it particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from injuries, those seeking balance in their dynamic practices, or anyone needing more contemplative and restorative experience - in today’s world who doesn’t need a space to slow down?

So anything you do around your hips, you've got six major organs, six meridians, and a whole melting pot of stuff to deal with down there," says Mel. Restorative is all about being comfortable and slowing down your nervous system. She is exceptional at what she does, and she brings the added value of being a genuinely caring person who is deeply invested in her students' growth. One that brings us full circle with ancient philosophy by envisioning the body -not just a mechanical system of separate parts -but as an energetic system that is interconnected to all that is. They both cultivate a powerful inner awareness through slow movements that help expose physical sensations and energy in the body. Your posture will improve along with your muscle-mind awareness. This posture provides a safe environment in which you can do so again. Well hands down, it is the best way to get into all the tightly packed connective tissue that can often get stuck with years of bad posture and stress-related tension.
