In Yin Yoga we move over to the tradition of Daoism, an ancient Chinese philosophy honouring the principles of Tao, to live in harmony with nature and the universe. The practice of Yin Yoga was founded in the early 80s and has since become a beloved style of movement recovery. Ultimately, with Yin we honour slowing down and moving within. Following the waves of sensations as we work with our connective tissue, holding our poses for 3-5 minutes.
