Yin yoga is the relaxed practice of floor postures for 3 to 5 minutes at a time. It is the ideal compliment to the more muscular, or Yang, forms of yoga. A Yin practice emphasizes the connective tissues of the hips, thighs, pelvis and lower spine. In this way it prepares the body and mind for longer meditation practices. By drawing your awareness away from your muscles and deeper into your bones, a deep level of relaxed focus is achieved.
