Hey Bernie!
I am practicing yoga 2 times a day with 20-30 minutes asana practice.
I used to do the Rishikesh sequence with slight modification for about 3 years, but I needed a change, so I started yin yoga only a few weeks ago.
After some time I felt I need some yang practice again. I tried the yang excercises from Paul's DVD. I like the the Flying Dragon very much but I cannot do this on a daily basis yet. The other two flows did not feel very good because it put too much stress on my knees.
I consulted Sarah Powers book, but the yang excercises are too long to do in a 20 to 30 minutes row except for the sun salutation. But just doing the surya namaskar doesn't feel to be enough for me.
So I was seeking for a gentle yang excercise with a variety of asanas and found that the Viniyoga practices from Gary Kraftsow's DVD are nice and gentle and fit into my timeframe.
What I'm doing now is 20-30 minutes yin yoga in the morning and some gently yang practice (Viniyoga) and now and then some more intense flows like Surya Namaskar or the Flying Dragon in the evening also for 20 to 30 minutes.
Would you consider the Viniyoga approach or a gentle more dynamic approach in general as an adequate yang practice to balance the yin practice?
Or do you think an yin practice needs an intense yang practice to balance it out?
