YIN YOGA - Power of stillness
What is yin yoga?
Yin yoga is a therapeutic method, rooted in yoga and geared towards increasing the range of motion of the joints and the tissues that dynamic exercise alone finds difficult to target, if at all...
It has its origin in the traditional form of hatha yoga but focuses essentially (only) on the poses that require minimum muscular activity, in order to promote optimum response from the connective tissues.
Yin yoga is an essential aspect part of the practices that we bring in our wellness programme, to help people restore balance to the mind and body, heal from accumulation of tension due to stress, lack of movement, poor posture, sitting at a desk for too long perhaps...
