The Tao of Books Yin Yoga

YIN YOGA: A Quiet Practice Ref: BY57

Paul Grilley

All yoga forms emphasize either muscle (Yang) or connective tissue (Yin). Today, all popular Yoga forms are Yang - muscular. Balancing the two has many benefits in any Yoga practice, including better preparation for meditation. Yin Yoga focuses upon connective tissue, which does not stretch or respond to brief stresses as muscle will, so Yin postures are held a long time, with the muscles relaxed. Acupuncture meridians are also in connective tissues and Yin Yoga is specifically designed to stimulate them. Divided into two sections, the second part of the book deals with chakras, breathing exercises and meditation.
