With our busy lifestyles Yin yoga is a great way to become more balanced, you can see it as a little break in between your day to day activities.
Many people have busy lives, running from one activity to the other. Yin yoga helps to create a moment to become quiet and turn inwards. Every pose is like a little meditation. To check in with yourself and observe without judging. Through Yin yoga you create space and welcome whatever arises in your body and mind.
Also on a physical level Yin yoga has a positive impact. By staying in the poses for a couple of minutes we reach the deeper layers in our body, our connective tissue, and make it more flexible.
Yin yoga stretches and targets both the deep connective tissues between the muscles, and the fascia throughout the body. The aim is to increase circulation in the joints and improve flexibility as the posesstretch and exercise the bone and joint areas. It also helps us to regulate the body’s flow of energy.
