Yin yoga encourages long held floor poses to enhance the Chi or energy
distribution through the Yin parts of the body, namely the bones and connective
tissues that bind them. These mainly static postures coax Chi into the
respective Meridians (the unseen riverbeds of energy the Chi travels through),
thereby encouraging a kind of needle-less acupuncture treatment. This
style of practice, done slowly and safely, nourishes the natural range
of motion of the joints, which allows for more ease in sitting meditation
postures. It also flushes the meridians housed in these connective tissues,
which directly effect/enhance particular organs in the process. Restoring
the flow of Chi within us has a direct impact on our psychological states,
encouraging increased ease of being, a foundation for authentic meditation
to occur.
Yin practice takes you deeper into where you are, not out to where
you think you should be. This approach challenges us to rethink what
asana is about. It marries meditation and asana into a very deep practice.
Some people, especially beginners, are not interested in or willing
to do this—to sit inside their discomfort and just watch their
reactions instead of trying to fix or change the pose. Yin yoga challenges
you to sit in the pure presence of awareness. It's hard in a different
way than active asana practice, but in a way that's more profound and
satisfying as well as more beneficial to the deeper tissues.
