In the past few years Yin Yoga became one of the most popular yoga styles. Perhaps our everyday "Yang" lifestyle is so exhausting that we all naturally need to go more "yinside"...
Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with set asanas that are held for longer periods of time, and allow to apply gentle tension and compression to our tissues. The whole point of Yin practice is to relax the muscles as much as possible, and hence to target the deeper connective tissues - especially fascia, our "spiderweb".
Yin Yoga is based on TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), and therefore intensively works with meridians and acupressure points targeting our organs and balancing the 5 Elements: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal.

Yin Yoga brings our focus more inwards, and can be an excellent bridge towards meditation, or can be a meditation itself.
