Yin is the perfect compliment to a more active practice or a more active/aggressive sport. Most, if not all, of practice will be on the ground, holding the postures for several minutes in order to achieve long, gentle pressure, stretching the deep connective tissues and increasing blood flow to the joints. Yin is not a vigorous practice, however, many can find the practice very challenging. Individuals who are tight can find holding the poses for several minutes to be intense. Others who have difficulty with quiet and stillness find this style awkward and demanding. These are two types that benefit most from yin. All levels are welcome.
