YIN YOGA (alle levels) bestaat voornamelijk uit zittende en liggende yoga houdingen die een langere tijd worden vastgehouden. Op deze manier wordt het bindweefsel langzaam gerekt en gehydrateerd en blijven de gewrichten soepel. Zo wordt er ruimte gecreëerd in het bindweefsel en de gewrichten. Bindweefsel ondersteunt, verbindt, beschermt onze organen en geeft ons lichaam structuur.

YIN YOGA (all levels) embodies the yin (or female/surrendering) energy and focuses on stretching and putting space between the bones (opening) and connective tissues (such as tendons and ligaments). Where there is space, there is room for the body to do its natural maintenance work: fresh lymph can flow to remove toxins; and fresh blood can bring fresh nutrients to feed the cells. This combination helps keep cells healthy and young, countering the stiffening of joints and connective tissues that occurs as we age. In Yin Yoga, space in the body is achieved through the principle of yin energy, whereby you learn to surrender both in body and mind, use as little muscle power as possible and allow gravity to do the work for you.
