YIN YOGA
All activities we do, we have to make an effort. In yin yoga you learn to drop all your efforts and surrender your body and mind to the present moment. It stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system which is responsible for relaxation and good digestion. It targets your deep connective tissues, like your fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. It’s slower and more meditative, giving you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Because you’re holding poses for a longer period of time than you would in other traditional types of yoga, yin yoga helps you stretch and lengthen those rarely-used tissues while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts.
It’s the time you allow yourself to do nothing and just be and honour the sacred act of breathing.
