Practiced regularly this Yin Yang class will help cultivate more energy, flexibility and strength in both body and mind. Going deeper, you may find limiting patterns strip away to remove negative emotions such as stress, anxiety, and overwhelm to reveal the inner, peaceful light within.
About Yin Yang Yoga
Physically Yin Yang Yoga blends two styles of yoga into one practice – bringing together the benefits of passively holding yoga poses with more dynamic sequences and standing postures.
Yin and Yang are the Taoist concepts which describe the two relative qualities present in everything. Yin is more internal, passive, cooling and downward. Yang is more external, dynamic, warming and upward.
When these terms are applied in yoga, Yin Yoga is a slower practice where poses are passively held for longer. It works on the deep, dense (Yin) connective tissues and joints in the body.
Yang Yoga, in contrast, refers to a more active practice. This works on the (Yang) muscles and blood flow, building strength, stamina and flexibility. Yang styles of yoga are those with rhythm and repetition like Vinyasa Flow.
For a balanced yoga practice, we need both Yang and Yin elements – this class combines both into on class to have a powerful effect on your energy levels.
