Child’s Pose - 5 mins Sphinx Pose - 3 mins Caterpillar - 5 mins Savasana - 5 mins What is yin yoga good for? 1. Connective Tissue 2. Meridians 3. Mindfulness Yin yoga is good for accessing the deeper connective tissues of our bodies that wrap around our jointes and bones. When we pull and pressurize these tissues using long held yin yoga postures (anywhere from 3-5 minutes on the floor) we stimulate the movement of qi along our meridian system which helps to reviatlize our organ systems supporting optimal well-being physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically and spiritually. Is yin yoga good for beginners? While many beginners often end up in yin yoga classes because yin yoga is a slow practice and not a lot is happening, unless it is labelled as a beginner practice, yin yoga is generally a more advanced practice. The long holds It is a practice that requires a lot of focus, patience and knowledge of poses in order to be able to choose an appropriate edge so that you will not go too deep into the postures resulting in joint damage. What makes yin yoga different? While hatha yoga, vinyasa yoga and yoga flow keeps energy up at the surface level of the body at the muscles with continuous movement. Yin yoga targets your deeper connective tissues, ligaments, joints and bones. When we come into a yin yoga pose we “stay for awhile.” Just like when you get an acupuncture treatment, the acupuncturist doesn’t put the needles in and then take them out again. We come into the pose and allow qi to flow. What is the difference between yin yoga and vinyasa yoga? In yin yoga we hold the poses anywhere from 1-10 minutes. Usually poses are held from 3-5 minutes in a yin class. In a vinyasa yoga class you flow from one pose to another, moving with your inhalation and exhalation. 🖲️💌 Subscribe To My Channel 💌🖱️http://bit.ly/ywmelissa 🖲️💌 Subscribe To My Yoga Lifestyle Channel 💌🖱️http://bit.ly/ylwmelissa 🔔 Thanks for setting the bell to “All” when you Subscribe! 🔔 https://melissawest.com/   / drmelissawest     / yogawithdrmelissawest   https://www.pinterest.ca/drmelissawest/ 🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻PLAYLISTS 🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻 🌻 30 Day Beginner Yoga Challenge http://bit.ly/30DayBeginnerYoga 🌻 🌻 Yoga Classes by Style http://bit.ly/ywmstyle 🌻 🌻 Yoga Classes by Length http://bit.ly/ywmlength 🌻 🌻 Yoga Classes by Focus http://bit.ly/ywmfocus 🌻 🙋Do you want support in your DAILY YOGA PRACTICE?
