Yin Yoga For Athletes and Injuries

This class is a must for all Athletes, Weight Lifters, Runners, Spinners, anyone with back problems, tight muscles especially in the back, hips and legs.

Yin Yoga is a series of longer held passive floor poses. Yin yoga targets joint sites such as the hips and lower back where deep pockets of tension are stored. Moving slowly into appropriate poses and holding for time allows the body to send pranic nourishment to these stiffer areas of the body. Breath awareness, mindfulness, and the subtleties of the pranic or energy body will be explored, as well as some basic Chinese meridian theory. When our pranic or energy body is stimulated, we affect the physical body, the emotional body, and our mental body enhancing our vital life force, bringing greater harmony to our being. Bring a willingness to explore your body using familiar poses practiced in a new and different way. Ultimately this practice will, allow hard worked muscles to recover faster, enhance performance and result in less injuries in the future.
