Comprehensive Guide to Yin Yoga

A profound Yin Yoga practice starts with the poses, although it’s more than just a compelling sequence of postures. It’s the story told throughout the progression, a narrative that can be enhanced by the in-between moments. This is, in part, what the practice of Yin Yoga teaches us—that all the moments we fill with presence can connect us back to ourselves. These moments are not insignificant. They create space for a different sort of practice. These spaces in Yin Yoga can bring up questions for students, as well as teachers. Do we need to rest between each side? Should we insert a counterpose? What about movement? How do we link everything together?
