Teacher training: Yin jóga s Anjelou Jervis-Read

Popis

YIN - is the feminine force in the universe that defines all that is cool, dark, slow, smooth and passive. It is an attitude of reflection, reception and relaxed observation. The yin way is gentle and a surprisingly powerful method to invoke change in both body and mind.

YIN YOGA
A unique way of practising Hatha yoga, seeks to embrace only the sweet or relaxed side of the posture. Instead of recruiting muscles to stabilize a posture the asanas are performed mostly on the ground and are supported by props like bolsters, blankets, blocks and straps. Relying on the props to ‘hold’ the shape of the posture the student can fully relax their body — removing all physical effort. By releasing in this way the body ‘hangs’ in its container (the fascial net) and the tension is transferred to the connective tissue (fascia) rather than the usual stretch felt through the muscles.
