Hi everyone, thank you for joining me today. If you’re feeling depleted or fatigued, this is a lovely gentle yin yoga class to support you as you recharge. I’m just getting over a cold and don’t feel like doing anything too strenuous, making yin yoga the perfect practice. This class is suitable for all levels and will be a fully reclined sequence using a bolster. If you don’t have a bolster, simply use some couch cushions or bed pillows.
This is a wonderful practice for anyone with adrenal fatigue, high levels of stress and anxiety or physical exhaustion.
What is Yin Yoga? Yin yoga is often called the Yoga of the joints because unlike other styles of yoga, the emphasis is not on the muscles but on the deep connective tissue. Connective tissue is made up of fascia, ligaments and tendons which surround and form your joints. Yin yoga improves the range of motion in your joints and also strengthens them. The results and benefits are more flexibility and greater range of motion and also more stability within your joints.
There are 3 principles of Yin Yoga.
1. Find your edge
2. Be still
3. Hold the pose
