Yin Yoga is a slow paced style of yoga where poses are held for 3 minutes or longer. By holding these poses for longer, it allows the muscle to become relaxed to work on a deeper level into joints, ligaments and tendons by opening up the fascia (connective tissue). Yin Yoga is the perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular Yang (i.e. running) and opens up most untouched/explored areas. Yin Yoga generally focuses on the hips, pelvis and lower spine.

I started practicing Yin Yoga four years ago about the same time I started running more often and longer distances. This has led my curiosity to train in Yin Yoga teacher training with Mysan Sidbo and complete my level 1 Hatha Yoga teacher training with Qi Health and Yoga Manly/Freshwater. Furthermore, I am now study anatomy at University.
