Yin Yoga embodies restful, long-held postures, primarily focusing on the body’s meridians, which in turn helps to stimulate the energy pathways. When each pose is held for an extended period of time, we are placing a 'stress' on the fascia of the body, and in activating this connective tissue, we can dissipate any energetic stagnation and support the smooth flow of Qi.
Within the passive, gentle, present and self-compassionate energy of Yin yoga, is the space to drop into ourselves and into a state of self reflection - observing our inner and outer worlds. The harmonising and supportive benefits of Yin herbs are enhanced tenfold when complimented with a gentle Yin practice, whether that is Yin yoga, meditation, Qi Gong, or simply grounding yourself into the earth and just having a quiet, reflective moment to yourself.
Give it a go, it may just transform you.
