Warm yin yoga

Post by 7hondo5 »

I have been thinking about warm yin, especially since this month's newsletter. I am wondering if the rubber band analogy actually applies within the body or if there is a better analogy available. The fact that we look to have the muscle relaxed in order to better stretch the fascia but that warmth that tends to relax the muscles is seen as not preferred for Yin has not made sense to me. In light of the newer idea of fascia as a gel, does not having a warmer environment promote the liquidizing of the fascia? I am curious about other's thoughts on this subject.

I did my Yin Yoga training in a hot country and found it beneficial as my muscles were more relaxed. It allowed me to go deeper into my body. It felt different, easier to let go.
