Yin yoga is a passive and meditative practice that targets the connective tissues of the joints, especially the hips, pelvis, and spine. Unlike other forms of yoga, yin poses are held for longer, allowing the muscles to relax and the fascia to stretch, creating more flexibility and mobility. Yin yoga also works on the energetic level, clearing blockages and balancing the flow of chi along the meridians, the pathways of life force in the body. Yin yoga is influenced by Taoism and Traditional Chinese Medicine, which view the body as a system of five elements: water, wood, fire, earth, and metal. Yin yoga can benefit anyone who wants to reduce stress, calm the mind, and heal injuries or chronic conditions, as it promotes relaxation, awareness, and self-compassion. What is Yoga Nidra? Yoga Nidra literally means yogic sleep. It is an ancient technique where the practitioner enters the deep states of conscious relaxation. It is a systematic practice of moving awareness from our external world to the inner world. It brings us to a state of deep sleep where our senses, intellect, and mind relax. We become free from the concepts of time, space and reason. When this happens, brain activity reduces and the body goes in the healing state. Therefore, it is also said that one hour of yoga Nidra can give the same benefit of a four-hour sleep. As the body enters a healing state, you can clear up the toxins at a cellular level, refresh the mind and remove baggage from the subconscious.
