Why You Need YIN Yoga in Your Life

How Does Yin Yoga Work?

Yin Yoga targets the deeper connective tissues like fascia, where we typically hold tension. As we hold a yin yoga pose, we break down the fascia to create more fluidity and openness in the body.

This results in a more significant increase in flexibility and mobility than in “Yang” styles of yoga like Hatha or Vinyasa. So, if you’ve been practicing other yoga styles but feel you are still inflexible, it could be because the tension is in the deeper connective tissues rather than the superficial muscles. 

By targeting these tissues through yin yoga, you’ll reach a level of fluidity that no other movement practice can deliver.

However…

To target this fascia, you must approach and hold each pose correctly and for the right duration.

For example, if you move around too much or too quickly, your body will struggle to relax, and thus, you won’t be able to go deep into the posture, where all the juiciest benefits are found. This is why following a structured course like Yin Academy that breaks everything down in detail is essential.

The Instructors

Since her early age, Tine has been passionate about movement. Over 15 years ago, she found yoga as an extension to her life as a dancer and began teaching Yoga in the discipline of Ashtanga, Hatha and Vinyasa. Since then, she has become increasingly passionate about Yin Yoga and the intention in and behind it. She has a great deal of experience with working on balance, flexibility and strength. 

“Physical performance is important; but it is only a part of the picture. The dancers that will catch your eye are not necessarily the ones with the perfect technique, but the ones that have completely become one with their movements (connecting the body and mind) – surrendering themselves and thus enabling a communication that goes beyond the purely physical. 

The practice to me is a constant study, both mentally and physically – listening to your body and mind and trying to act and challenge accordingly.”

Half Swiss half Mauritian, Illona is a free spirit with a passion for the natural flow of life. With 600 hours of instructor training and over 1500 hours of teaching, she accompanies people through their personal journeys and teaches them to channel both physical and mental strength.

She was born to teach; you will be amazed at how effective and fluid her communication is! Even the hardest position feels easy with her teaching.
