New in Yin Yoga?
Learn everything about yin yoga
This Event is not just for advanced practitioners – you can dive in as a beginner and learn the techniques and practices of Yin Yoga easily. Yin Yoga not only helps you to bring your body into balance and activate your self-healing powers, it also brings your mind to rest.

- its slows you down, relaxes and quietens the chattering of the mind
- it is very easy to learn
- de-stress your body and mind
- the exercises are not strenuous, but relaxing
- you can do it almost anywhere
- and the great effects can be felt directly
- become patient and calm in your relationships
What is Yin Yoga?
A practice to relax and heal
Yin Yoga is a counterbalance to today's fast and technological world. Most of the time we are in stress mode and our senses are completely overstimulated. Yin helps you get back into your own rhythm by slowing down, relaxing and being a meditative way to regenerate the body. Yin Yoga targets the deep connective tissues, bones, joints, fascia, and ligaments in the body. In Yin Yoga you hold, or rather, lie down into passive postures for a longer period of time, something like 3 to 8 minutes. This stretches your tissues and sets a stimulus that allows the body to bring attention to it and initiate healing mechanisms.
Improve your health!
Yin has many health benefits
As we grow older, our body slowly deteriorates, we lose strength, flexibility and mobility in the joints. With a Yin Yoga practice we can counteract this natural process to maintain long-term health. Yin works with a light, healthy stimulation on muscles, ligaments and joints so that they remain mobile.
Key benefits of a yin practice:
- Targets connective tissues including fascia, bones, and joints
- Reduces stress
- Relieves tension
- Balances internal organs and improves flow of prana
- Balances our yang or fast-paced physical yoga practice
- Boosts your circulation
- Improves flexibility
- Encourages mindfulness and meditation
Heal body, mind and soul
What do you experience by practicing yin?
Regenerating the body
With the long and deep stretches, yin activates the rest-and-digest mode of your body, that is responsible for healing and regenerating.
Cultivate a calm mind and steady emotions
Yin motivates us to stay calm, to get to know silence as a pleasant companion and to accept whatever comes. Whether emotions, discomfort or an "I just wanna leave here", we are able to take the given moment as it is.
Balance the energetic body
Yin Yoga works on the level of subtle energies based on the ancient knowledge of the nadis (from yoga) and the meridians (from TCM) to energetically balance the body and release blockages.
establish inner peace and relationship healing
Become more patient and calm
In Yin you have the time and space to immerse yourself in complete acceptance. This means letting all your emotions, feelings and thoughts come to the surface that you might otherwise unconsciously shove away. According to some traditions, tense body parts hide these pent-up emotions, which can be released through Yin practice.
During a yin class, you allow these feelings to arise without directly identifying with them. You simply observe them. It often takes a lot of energy for your system to maintain such energy blocks, which is why some experience a rush of new energy after a deep yin practice.
Increases your flexibility
The keyword here is fascia. These are stretched in Yin Yoga and this increases your flexibility and releases tension at the same time.
Switch from fight to relaxation mode
In Yin you develop a fine feeling of your own body. This helps you stay healthy and build more awareness. The body is always a mirror of the mental and emotional state. In Yin you switch your nervous system from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest mode. This has a calming effect, lowering the heart rate and reducing the risk of anxiety and depression.
Who is Yin Yoga for?
Yin Yoga is for everyone. No matter what fitness level you have, whether you are strong enough, flexible, fat or thin. It helps especially with tiredness, fatigue, over-stimulation, mild headaches or tension. The practice is balancing.
learn a Mindfulness practice
Best preparation for meditation
Yin can also be a great starting point for anyone interested in meditation. You can expect slow, deep stretches and guided meditation in a Yin Yoga class that balances and strengthens the body, mind, and soul.
