What is Yin Yoga?
Yin Yoga is a type of yoga that helps balance ones body, mind and
spirit.
Most practices in our everyday lives, and even most other types of
asana yoga in North America, are yang based. Yin Yoga is different than
most other styles of asana yoga in the sense that it concentrates more on
the joints than the muscles. It takes long, deep asanas (postures) to help
heal the joints, which is why we hold the positions for longer periods of
time in Yin Yoga, facilitating our joints into relaxation.
