Yin Yoga For Beginners

Por Jessica Inman

O que você irá aprender

This course gives an introduction to the practice of Yin Yoga. Yin Yoga is a slow practice where postures are held passively for several minutes to stretch into the fascia and connective tissue. Throughout the course, we'll be exploring the many benefits that Yin Yoga brings us on every level, along with some philosophy and theory around the practice. In each session, we'll learn a new posture, and we'll put them all together at the end into a longer sequence. The course aims to equip you with the understanding of why to practice Yin Yoga and of what's happening in our bodies when we practice, as well as to introduce you to some of the postures, which you can then continue to work with into the future. You will need a Yoga mat, and you might find it helpful to have some other props too. Yoga blocks are great, but cushions or pillows can also be used, and blankets are always handy.

Thank you so much, I really enjoyed learning about and practicing Yin Yoga. I intend to continue with my daily Yang practice and do a Yin practice once, but possibly twice, a week as you suggested. It’s lovely to spend so much time in a posture. A real treat!

I really enjoyed the course. I have been struggeling with post covid and untill now did a lot of yoga nidras. Yin yoga was on the wish list, but video courses are a lot more difficult for me (more stimulus) and real life is not an option for me. So this was perfect. I will start practising with day 10 and hope you will record more yin yoga audios. Thank you!
