Yin Yoga - 20 min
Santa Teresa, Costa Rica
Yin Yoga is a style of yoga practice that targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, bones, and even the joints of the body that normally are not exercised very much in a more active style of asana practice.
Suitable for almost all levels, Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat, and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles.
Yin Yoga generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine.
Each posture in Yin Yoga is usually held up to 5 minutes. In this video, we will be holding poses for only 2 minutes focusing on releasing the hamstrings, opening your hips and releasing the quadriceps (quads).
Holding postures this long is difficult, so its important to remember to breathe!
Focus on inhaling and exhaling to release any tension and to allow yourself to go deeper into each posture. Taking deep breaths in and long slow exhales out will bring oxygen to your muscles, organs, and mind and re-energize your nervous system,
During this Yin Yoga video, be sure to let go of stress and tension and allow yourself to become fully present in each moment of each posture.
