“Yin yoga focuses on connective tissues such as ligaments, bones, and even body joints, which are not usually used very much in the practice of active-style (Yang) asanas (yoga poses). It is unique yoga experience focused on a deeper experience, balancing Yang yoga practices, not on outer tissues – muscles as the YANG yoga mainly focuses, and on feeding deeper connective tissues, it is not only physical but also mental, emotional and energetic benefits, and for some spiritual as well . Yin and Yang yoga practices affect body tissues differently, so only by trying Yin Yoga will you understand what this yoga is all about. After trying at least once, you will realise that you were only practising one half of yoga at a time. It’s like two sides of a coin, Yin & Yang. Yin Yoga is a journey into yourself, it is a deep rest from the active 21st century’s pace of life. It’s time for yourself, it’s going deep within yourself and a discovery of silence, peace within yourself.
