Yin Yoga

One of the recent popular Yoga methods Chandini is teaching is ‘Yin Yoga’. As the name implies, Yin yoga is a way to practice Yoga that is oriented toward the “yin” principle.

Yin as opposed to Yang addresses the deeper levels, the basic, the profound, in modern language what is “under the hood”.

Accordingly, the practice of Yin Yoga provides the tools to reach into the deepest layers of our body, working the bones and the deep tissues holding the skeleton and other structures together.

Yin Yoga practice means:
long holds of the posture, and relaxation of the muscles around the areas targeted by the asana. Both elements provide gentle, sustained tension or compressions on the deep tissues in a way appropriate to the quality and texture of the targeted fibers. Yin Yoga asanas generally work using gravity and leverages on the body while the practitioner consciously tries to relax the muscles, especially those around the targeted areas.

Holding the posture for a longer time (ranging from 2 up to  5 minutes) allows the body to settle deeply into the asana. The postures are defined by possible target areas, rather than aesthetic requirements.

Yin Yoga unfolds its benefits on many levels: the deeper layers of the body respond to being addressed in the specific way they need by getting stronger, healthier and more elastic.

Appropriate stresses to the fasciae have an energizing effect on the energy meridians traversing the body.

The long holding times provide a quiet environment and an invitation for the practitioner to enter a meditative state.
A noticeable feeling of wellbeing and peacefulness often happens as an immediate after-effect of a Yin Yoga session
