Description
Yin Yoga is a form of yoga practice, which helps to target the body’s connective tissues such as the ligaments, bones and the joints, which may not normally be as exercised as other parts of the body.
Each asana is held for a longer period of time than in other forms of yoga. The aim of increasing the circulation around the body is coupled by each pose being designed to improve the flow of qi. Yin Yoga can be used as a complementary practice to balance the effects of some more active forms of yoga and exercise.
Yin yoga offers fresh vitality to yoga practice as you find kindness and respect for the human form and peace and tranquility for the mind throughout each sequence.
