Yin Yoga is a type of gentle yoga practise which helps stretching tissues and release any tensions in the body by surrendering in the poses (asanas) using a few muscles as possible. In this manner, it helps stretching the fascias enveloping the internal organs of the body while using passive poses and breathing consciously and deeply within the areas targeted. It usually helps relaxing the whole nervous system, providing a calm state of mind. Learning how to surrender into the possible feeling of pain caused by the stiffed tissues accumulated over the years can be challenging at times but the feeling of space created within the body after the session usually makes it very liberating and provides a sense serenity throughout the rest of the day.
Yin Yoga is particularly recommended for people needing some physical or mental flexibility in their day to day life. Each session can target a specific area of tensions, such as hips, lower back, middle back, shoulders, neck, articulations, heart centre, etc. It gently helps releasing the tensions caused by a lack of mobility in your daily life.
Yin yoga can also have an impact on suppressed emotions by helping exteriorise them throughout the practice. Some tensions might originate from old patterns and traumas we subconsciously guard within our body (fascia, articulation, etc) for years. Through the practise of Yin Yoga, you might observe the re-surfaciong of some emotions such as pain, anger, joy, pleasure. It is your chance to let them out, acknowledge them and move on for good. Make space and experience new chapters of your life in a fluid manner.
