Yin yoga is a calm, mindful and very conscious type of yoga where we are moving from pose to pose and finding stillness. We hold poses for 3-8 minutes and work with fascia (connective tissues in our bodies that separate and hold our organs in place). Yin yoga recently gained in popularity amongst athletes (especially runners, golfers and cyclist), yogis who practise stronger forms of yoga such a vinyasa, ashtanga or rocket but also people with sedentary professions.
The reason yin yoga works so well is that it encourages our natural posture and works with our connective tissues to have a profound effect helping us to feel more at home in our own bodies.
It also works as an equaliser to more high intensity activities (runners may find this type of yoga elongating their step, golfers their swing deepening and yogis may find it resets their asana habits and gives them more time in the poses than usually to savour the benefits).
Yin yoga can work as a wonderful tool for many ailments including back ache, headaches, stress and anxiety.
