Yin is a grounding & balancing expression of yoga. Cultivating a deep stretch, we pause & meditate on the sensations & feelings unfolding in the body with the intention of surrendering to the moment. It's origins are rooted in the convergence of the Indian tradition of yoga with Chinese understandings of health & energy. While the Yang nature represents our active, external qualities of warmth & movement, the yin represents the internal, receptive, cool, soft & slow side we all need for balance..
