What is Yin yoga?
Yin yoga originates from the Taoist principle of Yin and Yang, two completely opposite natures complementary to each other. Yin yoga is a powerful, slow, and subtle form of yoga that offers a deeper impact on tendons and muscles with its meditative impact. In this form of yoga, asanas are combined with pranayama and meditation with passive relaxation along with deep opening. The postures in this form of yoga are mostly practiced on the floor and held for a longer duration (almost 2 to 5 minutes), the aim is to have a deeper impact on body tissues, tendons, and muscles while connecting the soul through a meditative approach. It is about letting go of different emotions to delve into a more intense connection with the soul. Yin yoga works with muscles and connective tissues which are considered almost 90% resistant to the flexibility of the human body. With its longer duration of pose-holding and practice of breath control, Yin yoga offers a relatively deeper impact while guiding in the direction of complete calmness. Asanas in Yin yoga are relatively similar to that of Indian Hatha yoga but practiced differently to offer a completely different meaning to relaxation and energy harvesting.
