Yin Yoga contains the ancient, and some say original, form of asana practice. The sages who pioneered the
path of yoga used asanas to strengthen the body, so that they could sit for long periods in contemplative
meditation. If you have ever sat for a long time with legs crossed, you know the hips and lower back need
to be strong and open. The sensations you felt were deep in the connective tissues and the joints. These
are the deep yin tissues of the body, relative to the more superficial yang tissues of muscles and skin.
Yin Yoga opens up these deep, dense, rarely touched areas.
Recently Yin Yoga has been "re-discovered", and more and more students of yoga are adding this challenging
form of practice to their regular sadhana. Years of a dedicated asana practice will make anyone healthier,
stronger, and more flexible, but at some point the muscles will have reached their limit of flexibility.
New depths in postures, deeper ranges of motion, or an increased flow of energy may only be achievable by focusing on the
deeper tissues of the body. This is why so many students are finding Yin Yoga to be the perfect
compliment and balance to their more active, yang practices.
With this new awareness of the ancient practice has come the need to know more about it. The purpose of
yinyoga.com is to help the interested student start their own journey of discovery,
while providing some help to the many who are already deep into the practice.
Keep checking back over time as we continue to build and grow yinyoga.com as a resource
you can come to over and over again, as you travel your unique path.
Enjoy the journey!
