Yin Yoga with Patricia Dewar:

Yin Yoga focuses on the deep tissues and joints of the body. The practice enables new depths in postures and an increased energy flow.

Yin Yoga is derived from an ancient form of yoga. Many feel it was the original form practiced to enable the body to sit comfortably for long periods of meditation.

This style of yoga targets the deep fascia and ligaments of the joints versus the more familiar yang style that stretches and strengthens the more superficial muscles. Because of the different tissue nature of the joints versus muscles, a different approach is used.

Yin yoga is a style of yoga that targets the deep fascia and ligaments of the joints versus the more familiar yang style that stretches and strengthens the more superficial muscles. Because of the different tissue nature of the joints versus muscles, a different approach is used. In yin yoga style the poses are entered and exited very slowly, and the actual pose is explored in a quiet meditative fashion for 3-5 minutes with gravity and breath deepening the experience of the pose. Yin compliments yang.
