Overview

You will discover that what their practice is significant yet the way in which they practice it is much more significant. In Yin Yoga, you position your body in a specific posture and afterward let go of every solid exertion and give up to the floor for gravity to accomplish the work. Thusly, you loosen up your muscles and apply moderate pressure to the most profound layers of connective tissues of the body - ligaments, belts, and tendons working on the wellbeing and versatility of joints.

Their 50-hour Yin yoga teacher training course gives every one of the apparatuses, assets, and information you really want to develop your training and begin showing Yin yoga to other people. The practical methodology of the course - in light of the skeletal varieties and uniqueness of each and every specialist gives a recharged point of view of the yoga asanas.

Yin yoga is a part of the original Hatha yoga tradition. In its modern incarnation, Yin yoga combines the influences of Indian yoga with the Chinese Daoist practice and western science to improve your health on many levels with its emphasis on long-held, passive stresses of the deeper connective tissues, Yin yoga mobilizes and strengthens your joints, ligaments, and deep fascial networks. Yin yoga is a practice much needed in today's difficult, divisive times.

Yin yoga blends two ancient principles - traditional Chinese medicine and yogic philosophy. ​Both these ancient principles focus on balancing the universal life force energy. The yogis call this 'prana' and the Chinese call it 'qi'. Yin yoga has its roots in Taoist traditions, which see that there are two ​opposing yet complementary energies at work within the universe, Yin (passive), and Yang (active).

They represent duality and opposites coming together as one. Yin symbolizes your shadow nature, which is quiet and still while Yang represents the active forces that drive change. Yang stands for the sun, the lightning path for transformation. This style of yoga consists of floor-based postures that are held for a longer duration. The practice cools down the body and is restorative in nature.

​It focuses on the connective tissues - ligaments, joints, bones, and the deep ​fascia ​networks of the body - rather than the muscles. Regular practice of Yin yoga unleashes blocked energy and releases deeply held tension in the body. It is, therefore, known as ​'The Quiet Practice'.

Yin practice

Yin yoga is a quiet, contemplative practice that focuses on balancing the prana. Practitioners learn floor-based Yin postures and engage in long-held, deeply restful postures.

Yang practice

In contrast to Yin. Yang is a more active practice that works on the muscles, blood flow, and building strength, stamina, and flexibility. Practitioners learn Yang styles of yoga, which involve rhythm and repetition quite like Vinyasa flow.

Body meridians

Meridians are energy channels that transport energy and life through your body. They affect how you think, feel, and your overall health. When the meridian pathways are open and clear, pranas freely flow through your body to maintain harmony and balance. Practitioners are taught asanas that target these body meridians.
