Yin Yoga

Yin yoga is a type of yoga where you do different poses while sitting or lying down on the floor. These poses are usually held for a longer time than in regular yoga (about 3-5 minutes).

The idea of yin yoga is to help stretch and relax your muscles and joints. It's like a gentle way of making your body feel good and relaxed.

You might wonder why we need to hold a pose for so long. It's because holding the pose helps to put gentle pressure on our joints, bones, and tissues. This gentle pressure helps to stretch and relax them.

Yin yoga is different from other types of yoga because it focuses on stretching the connective tissues in our body, rather than just our muscles. Connective tissues hold our bones and muscles in place. By stretching these tissues, we can help our body become more flexible and reduce stress and tension.

So when you do yin yoga, you will feel calm and relaxed. It's a great way to relax after a long day or to practice mindfulness. Just remember to breathe deeply and hold the poses gently.
