Yin yoga is a slow, meditative practice that blends yoga asana (physical postures) with concepts from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Taoism. Yin and yang are the two opposing forces or principles that are fundamental to Chinese philosophy and cosmology. Yin is associated with feminine energy: dark, passive, cold, and restful. Yang is associated with masculine energy: light, active, and heat. Harmony is created through balancing these opposite yet complimentary energies.
Yin yoga encourages a deep, inward focus through passive poses that are held for extended periods of time (2 to 7 minutes). By allowing gravity and time to do the work, connective tissue such as ligaments, fascia, and joints are able to targeted. Fascial tissue in particular is a much-neglected tissue and unhealthy fascia contributes to chronic pain. Like a restorative practice, many props are utilized to support and enhance the pose and the practice is highly adaptable to the practitioner.
Selene began her yin yoga practice during the summer of 2020. As the yang of the world shut down and she was forced to be alone in a tiny studio apartment in Washington D.C., yin yoga was her refuge. No matter what your current practice looks like, yin yoga will be an excellent complement. Please join Selene these four Fall evenings to explore and restore.
