With Michele Tampa-Hoag & Sara Cain-da Costa

Yoga Alliance CEU's or RYS300

Generally, when we think of the asana practice, we tend to think of the strength and flexibility benefits provided by the various forms of “active” (i.e. Vinyasa) practices. These practices are considered yang. Just as daylight is balanced by night, a well-balanced asana practice should embrace both the yin and yang aspects of the asanas.

This module provides an understanding of Yin Yoga, a practice designed to provide nourishment and balance to the body’s deep tissues (fascia), improved energy flow (Qi), and the ability to cultivate a calm and peaceful mind. Yin as a practice can increase mobility and reduce stress levels which can benefit individuals who have chronic illnesses and/or disabilities, as well as for athletes looking to avoid injury and athletic “burn out”. Our intention for including this topic is so that it give the advanced yoga instructor more tools to weave into a flow practice with their clients in either a group or private setting. Yin Yoga poses offer alternative Asana options like in Pigeon vs Sleeping Swan version that can be used for any body but even more so for special populations.
