Yin Yoga For Beginners

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.
