Yin Yang Yoga is an approach to yoga practice that emphasizes the importance of balance and harmony. This style combines two opposing energies known as Yin and Yang.
While Yin has passive, receptive and cold characteristics, Yang is defined by its active, dynamic and hot characteristics. Yin Yang Yoga aims to experience the harmony and balance resulting from the union of these two opposing forces on the level of body, mind and soul. Yin and Yang in practice
• Yin Yoga: Yin Yoga, which is more of a meditative approach, focuses on deep tissues, ligaments, and joints. It is characterized by holding poses for long periods of time, during which the body relaxes and the mind calms down.
• Yang Yoga: Yang Yoga mostly includes dynamic yoga styles such as Vinyasa or Ashtanga. It is based on movements that warm the body, strengthen and revitalize the muscles.
Benefits of Yin Yang Yoga:
• Achieving Physical and Mental Balance: The combination of Yin and Yang elements helps achieve both physical and mental balance.
• Gaining Flexibility and Strength: Yin practice increases flexibility, while Yang practice strengthens the body.
• Reducing Stress: Yin poses provide meditation and relaxation, and Yang poses support stress and energy management.
• Regulation of Energy Flow: The practice opens energy channels and encourages the free flow of chi (or qi).
