If you are having joint pain, you could find deep care and relief with the simple and gentle practice of Yin Yoga. Whether you have been less active/sitting a lot or you are an athlete that has built a lot of muscle, if you have lost range of motion and feel ache in the joints - Yin Yoga may be exactly the anecdote you have been looking for.
Yin Yoga utilizes floor poses held muscularly relaxed for 3-5 minutes each in order to very gently, modestly, within limits, target and stimulate fascia and ligaments through traction and compression.
This basic introduction to Yin Yoga theory and its simple repertoire of poses is self-empowering for the support and rehabilitation of the ligaments that make up joint capsules and the fascia network of the low back, spine, hips, sacrum, knees and ankles.
In this workshop, the foundational principles of Yin Yoga will be discussed as well as the chemical responses that occur in the joints and fascia based on modern tissue regeneration research. Learn and experience why Yin Yoga is so uniquely therapeutic and rehabilitative to the joints and connective tissues.
This workshop is great for anyone who is curious about how the gentle but therapeutic practice of Yin Yoga can aid their joints and fascia, teachers who are interested in incorporating Yin Yoga principles into their classes, and for those who are hankering for a decadently long Yin Yoga practice.
