Description
All kinds of yoga may give benefits physically, emotionally, and mentally, alternatively Yin Yoga works the deeper levels of the body/heart/mind: the connective tissues of the ligaments, fascia, joints and bones and the full of life channels of the meridians, nerves and blood system. One big difference noticed by students of Yin Yoga is the long-held, passive nature of the posture, which gives time for a deeper journey to unfold, a journey into the meditative aspects of yoga, a bridge to living life mindfully.
Clark presents comprehensive information on how one can do the practice, including a deep look inside over two dozen Yin Yoga postures showing the advantage of the pose, how one can get into and out of the pose, contraindications and warnings for many who may have trouble with particular aspects of the posture, and other vital information. The advantages are explored in three main sections: the physiological benefits, the full of life benefits and the mental/emotional benefits.
