WHAT IS IT?
Yin Yoga targets mainly the lower (yin) body, working through the legs, pelvis and spinal column. Stretching and rehabilitating the tendons (connect muscles to the bones) and ligaments (hold the joints together). Tendons and ligaments are deeper Yin tissues; they are closer to our core and very much like plastic. These are the parts of our bodies which tend to dry out as we age. In stretching or stressing these tissues through Yin Yoga, we are working against this drying out process to help us regain our flexibility.
