Yin yoga is a restful, slow-paced yoga style. It is inspired by the Chinese philosophy of the opposite forces of yin and yang. Yin is seen as
a receptive and restful life force, while yang is active energy. Thus, yin is a more restful and calm yoga style, where we stay in one pose for
2 to 5 minutes. It can be seen as a long meditation where the mind and body come to rest in one pose. It is very complementary to other styles of “yang” yoga, such as Hatha or vinyasa yoga, which is more active.
