Yin

Yin Yoga is a quiet, meditative practice where each pose is held for around 3-5mins or more. This process stretches and lubricates the connective tissues in the body, encouraging flexibility and tissue health. It also improves the quality and mobility of qi or energy flow in the body, a belief derived from Chinese Meridian theory in Chinese Medicine. In the same way that acupuncture and massage can target specific areas of the body to stimulate the flow of qi, Yin can be an incredibly powerful tool to promote organ health, healing the body in a more natural way.

This practice is the opposite of a Yang practice (ie. such as vinyasa) and it is highly recommended to practice Yin along side vinyasa to bring the body back into balance. As someone who is half Chinese, you can imagine, this practice is something close to my heart.
