Yin yoga affects everyone differently much like any other form of yoga practice. Some students quickly notice benefits such as increased hip openness and a tranquil, centered mind, while others may find the postures and meditative state challenging. By holding Yin postures, which often focus on the hips, pelvis, and lower spine, we can confront feelings and sensations that our fast-paced lives often us to avoid.

If you find yourself leaning towards Vinyasa, consider attending three to four Yin classes first. Yin serves as a perfect counterbalance to the constant distractions of emails texts, and social media.

As renowned Yin yoga teacher Bernie Clark states, “Yin yoga is not meant be comfortable; it will take you well outside your comfort zone. Much of the benefit of the practice will from staying in this zone of discomfort, despite the mind’s urgent pleas to leave.”

By dedicating time to Yin and embracing stillness, you’ll gain insight into what your mind and body are communicating. Research indicates that this practice not only enhances mental well-being and alleviates stress and anxiety but also boosts circulation, increases flexibility, releases fascia, improves joint mobility, and helps balance our internal organs, thereby enhancing the flow of chi or prana in the body.
