Many people think Yin Yoga is only about muscle relaxation. However, it goes beyond just relaxing your muscles. In Yin Yoga, the focus is on stretching the deep connective tissues, such as ligaments, joints, and fascia. This is achieved by gently stressing and compressing these tissues.
If we relax too much in a Yin pose, we may accidentally strain our muscles, which can eventually lead to major injuries.
In Yin Yoga, it’s important to pay attention to asana alignment, listen to your yoga teacher, use props carefully, and stay focused.
When practiced properly, Yin Yoga can offer numerous health benefits- from increasing flexibility to reducing stress.
