Yin Yoga at the yoga center retreat
what is YIN yoga?
Yin Yoga hails from the teachings of ancient Taoist yoga and has become increasingly popular in the yoga community over the past 10 years. It’s no surprise that students are flocking to Yin classes considering our fast paced world with its ups and downs.
Yin teaches us how to slow down, to be quiet, to move into the deeper parts of ourselves where we can access our innate wisdom and vital life force. Yin provides us with an excellent opportunity to balance a more active (or yang) yoga practice and/or lifestyle. It promotes suppleness and health in the physical body while it boosts the immune system and removes, or irrigates stagnant energy and blockages from the energy body.
