More information about Deep Stretch Yin Yoga<\/h2>\n

In Deep Stretch Yin Yoga we do not strive to create strength or stability. There are few standing postures. Most of the exercises are done close to the floor, sitting or lying down<\/strong>. Yin yoga is sometimes referred to as \u201cLiquid Yoga\u201d.<\/p>\n

In Deep Stretch Yin Yoga we gently stretch and relax the deeper layers of our muscles. We also sollicit our connective tissues, the fascia, ligaments and tendons<\/strong>. That’s why Yin yoga postures mainly concentrate on those parts of the body where a lot of connective tissues are present: the trunc and the (upper) legs. The rhythm is slow, and we hold the postures for a relatively long time, sometimes for up to several minutes. The purpose is to let go slowly. Your flexibility wil gradually improve, not by active stretching, but rather by abandoning yourself and by feeling how your muscles and tendons little by little release their tensions to attain a deeper level of relaxation. <\/p>\n

Yin yoga is the perfect opposite of “doing”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
