This second edition of the best selling The Complete Guide to Yin
Yoga provides an in-depth look at the philosophy and practice of
Yin Yoga with illustrated sections on how to practice Yin Yoga,
including detailed descriptions and photographs of over 30 Yin Yoga
asanas. This is an updated version of the book that has become the
go-to resource for Yin Yoga teachers all over the world and has
been required reading in many teacher training programs. All forms
of yoga can provide benefits physically, emotionally, and mentally,
however Yin Yoga works the deeper levels of the body/heart/mind:
the yin tissues of fascia, tendons, ligaments, joints and bones, as
well as the energetic channels of the meridians, nerves and blood
system. One big difference noticed by students of Yin Yoga is the
long-held, passive nature of the posture, which gives time for a
deeper journey to unfold, a journey into the meditative aspects of
yoga, a bridge to living life mindfully. The second edition
includes-a more functional approach to the practice of yoga,
emphasizing the concept of targeted areas; the importance of stress
in reducing fragility and building antifragility; understanding the
nature of creep and the importance of counterposes, with a revised
list of effective counterpostures; many new photographs of the
postures and their variations for different body types; a more
current overview of the physiology of tissues and the energy body
reflecting new understanding in the science of fascia and cellular
signaling; and many other enhancements. As in the first edition,
the book presents comprehensive information on how to do the
practice, including how to get into and out of the pose,
contraindications and warnings for those who may have trouble with
particular aspects of the posture, and other important information.
Why we do the practice is discussed by looking at its benefits in
three main sections: the physiological, energetic and
mental/emotional benefits.
