The postures in Yin Yoga are static, affecting the deepest tissues in the body such as ligaments, joints and bones, in contrast to the dynamic form of Yang Yoga, aimed at muscle training that we often see.
When practicing Yin Yoga, we close our eyes to close the door to the outside world and focus on looking deeply into the inner world.
What is Yin Yoga?
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced type of exercise, holding a movement for a long time to stretch the muscles, deeply impacting rarely used tissues.
Through practice, you learn how to regulate your breathing and get used to the discomfort of having to focus on holding postures for a long time.
