Yin YogaYin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with postures being held for longer periods of time. Yin is a great way to relax the body while increasing flexibility. Yin Yoga is thought by some to be the oldest form of Hatha Yoga. The roots of Yin Yoga are in India and China. Ancient yoga practitioners sat in poses similar to Yin poses during their meditation. In addition to this, thousands of years ago Kung Fu practitioners were taught to hold poses for an extended amount of time while practicing varying breathing techniques. |
