Yin yoga is a style in which the asanas are held in a relaxed manner for 2 to 5 minutes.
Holding the pose for an extended period allows us to go deeper, which helps to calm our mind until we achieve a deep level of relaxation.
Yin focuses on stretching, stimulating and rejuvenating ligaments, joints, tendons and the fascia.
Yin is the practice of passive stretching poses which you maintain for several minutes.
During this time, during which you remain seated, you can achieve introspection and a mental space where you can feel and observe your emotions.
Mindful and regular practice helps your body become more flexible.
By staying in the postures for a long time, shortened muscles, stiff ligaments, connective tissue and fascia are revitalised and your muscles are stimulated.
This style is a perfect supplement for a more active yoga practice or any sport, since we can do it during periods of fatigue or stress.
