YOGA / EXERCISE"Biff Mithoefer has created the most useful written
material available for exploring Yin Yoga. Much more than an asana
book, The Yin Yoga Kit teaches energetic principles, mental
disciplines, and patient mindfulness. I highly recommend it!"
--PAUL GRILLEY, author of Yin Yoga: Outline of A Quiet Practice
"Yoga and qigong are much more alike than they are different,
causing many practitioners to say, 'Chinese yoga is Indian qigong.'
The Yin Yoga Kit serves as a bridge between the two disciplines. It
is like a mountain trail between China and India, probably through
Tibet." --ROGER JAHNKE, O.M.D., director of the Institute of
Integral Qigong and Tai Chi, author of The Healer Within and The
Healing Promise of Qi Yin Yoga is known as the quiet yoga. Many of
the most popular forms of yoga are fundamentally yang in nature,
based on rhythmic movements of the muscles and focused on the need
for change and attainment. Yin Yoga, in contrast, concentrates on
connective tissue and bones, the parts of our body that are closest
to our core and critical to our physical well-being and range of
motion. The postures are all practiced on the floor and each is
held for a lengthy period, usually three to five minutes. This
intense non-movement allows the muscles to relax and the deep
connective tissue to be gently stretched, encouraging the free flow
of energy throughout the body. Above all, Yin Yoga is a gentle
practice that brings yoga back to its internal meditative roots,
teaching us to relax and accept ourselves just as we are. In The
Yin Yoga Kit, Biff Mithoefer presents 14 postures used in Yin Yoga
and explains the benefits of each, including which meridians and
chakras will be mostpositively affected. The full-color posture
cards included illustrate the poses for those who are very
flexible--and those who are not--and assist users in designing a
personalized practice. The 75-minute CD contains a guided routine
narrated by the author, with each pose presented on a separate
track so listeners can rearrange them or shorten the routine as
needed. BIFF MITHOEFER teaches Yin Yoga at Omega Institute, Nosara
Institute in Costa Rica, and throughout the United States. He lives
in Dorset, Vermont.
