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.

Why is yin so good for you?
  • 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 the counterbalance to today's fast and stressful world, which is dominated by stimulus satiation and over-entertainment. Yin is a slow, soothing, and meditative style of yoga that targets the deep connective tissues, bones, joints, fascia, and ligaments in the body. With Yin Yoga you will find peace and bring your body back into balance.
In Yin Yoga, we hold mostly passive poses for about two to five minutes to work into our connective tissues. Lengthening extremely tight tissues can be an uncomfortable practice, but using this time to focus on breathing is a large part of Yin Yoga and also one of the many Yin Yoga benefits.
Typically when we experience discomfort, our bodies naturally become tense and we use our fight-or-flight response. Yin Yoga teaches us to reroute the mind and slow the heart rate when we experience discomfort.

Improve your health!

Yin has many health benefits

As we age, our bones begin to degenerate, we lose mobility in our joints, and our fascia tightens. But a consistent Yin Yoga practice helps to regain mobility and ease pain in the body. This is because it applies gentle, healthy stress to our joints and gentle stretch to our connective tissues.

Key benefits of a yin practice:
  • Targets connective tissues including fascia, bones, and joints
  • Reduces stress
  • Boosts your circulation
  • Balances internal organs and improves flow of prana
  • Balances our yang or fast-paced physical yoga practice
  • Relieves tension
  • Improves flexibility
  • Encourages mindfulness and meditation
Heal body, mind and soul

What do you experience by practicing yin?

On the physical level

On the physical level Yin Yoga targets bones, joints and connective tissues. There is no aesthetic ideal to reach which makes the Yin Yoga approach very liberating, instead there is an emphasis on a functional approach.

On the emotional/mental level

On the emotional/mental level the Yin approach prepares the practitioner for meditation as one of the central intention of the yin practice is the cultivation of inner stillness and a keen sense of introspection, like Paul Grilley describes it: Yin Yoga is a Quiet Practice.

On the energetic level

the practice reconnects with its roots of Taoist yoga, and uses the ancient map and modern theory of the meridians, the long holds in Yin restore harmony in the subtle body by targeting the channels that run through the connective tissues.

Become more patient and calm

Yin yoga gives you the time and space to allow emotions, thoughts and feelings you have kept in the shadows, to surface. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (where many of the principles of Yin Yoga stem from), these stored-up emotions can manifest as pain or blockages like knots in our shoulders, tight hips, sore necks, or internal pains.

Generally speaking, during a Yin yoga class, you will be encouraged to allow all those feelings to be there, but not to identify with them. To observe but not get caught up in them. It costs the body a lot of energy to keep things suppressed, so the release you feel from letting it all come out can be just as big.

Heal your body

The buzzword is facia. Think of your fascia like shrink wrap around your muscles and bones. When this connective tissue is underused, it becomes less elastic which can lead to aches and stiffness. “If you gently stretch connective tissue by holding a yin pose for a long time, the body will respond by making them a little longer and stronger—which is exactly what you want,” Paul Grilley a registered yoga teacher, explains.

Increases your flexibility

Elastic fascia and mobile joints lead to better flexibility, which is one of the key benefits to a regular yin yoga practice. Because fascia needs at least 120 seconds of sustained stretching to actually affect its elasticity, yin is one of the most effective ways at improving your flexibility and releasing tension in tight spots thanks to its long holds.

Switch from fight to relaxation mode

In Yin you develop a deep feeling for your own body. By passively stretching your muscles you activate the self-repair mechanisms of your body. Your whole system can relax from stress and regulate itself again. Because our body has the great function to heal itself.

That calm you feel after a yin class is very real—studies have found yin yoga to have a significant impact on lowering stress and anxiety and reducing the risk of depression. Plus, it activates your parasympathetic nervous system, which calms your body and slows your heart rate

Who is Yin Yoga for?

Yin yoga is for you if you are tired and craving energy or you’re over-stimulated and have too much energy. But the answer of who is it for is very easy to answer: for everyone. No matter of age, physicall level or flexibility. And you hardly can over do it, because Yin is a balancing practise.

learn a Mindfulnes practice

Best preparation for meditation

Yin can also be a great starting point for anyone interested in meditation as it has such an internal focus. You can expect slow, deep stretches and meditation in a Yin Yoga class that balances and strengthens the body, mind, and spirit.

In the yin practise we focus on the breath, which is also a major meditation technique. Breath is an important component of yin yoga, too, because it gives you something to focus on in the more difficult and uncomfortable postures.
