Yin YogaThe name of this practice is anchored in Daoist philosophy which organizes the universe into the energies of yin and yang. The correspondences of Yin energy are slow, soft, water and lunar energy whereas Yang energy is fast, active, fire and solar energy. Hatha & Vinyasa concentrate on the muscles embody more of a yang energy. Alternatively, yin yoga focuses on the joints and fascia through a slow and internal approach. Tendons, joints, tissues, and fascia have less blood and elasticity than muscles do, therefore these areas need longer poses to gain the benefit of the practice. Long-held stretches designed to work with fascial networks and energetic meridian systems, while accounting for individual bone structure variance. Much like the symbol itself, yin and yang approaches of yoga are meant to complement each other and both are needed to create an embodied wholeness. The benefits of yin are vast. Studies suggest that this style of stretching can support us to improve our range of motion, reduce stress and improve sleep, hydrate our fascia and reduce fibrosis and inflammation in our tissue and even support bone regeneration.

Aerial YogaIn Aerial yoga, the silk is kept close to the ground and becomes a swing which can support the body in many postures that are difficult on the ground. With the support of the silk, these postures can be performed more easily and with less strain on the body in mid-air.
Aerial yoga has particular benefits for strengthening and stretching the whole body, decompressing the spine, improving circulation, boosting digestion and lifting one's mood. In particular, aerial yoga strengthens the core as well as the arms and legs, while supporting the body in mid-air. |
