Yoga of the Joints: Yin Yoga Course for Beginners

This Yin Yoga Online Course for beginners is designed for complete beginners new to either yoga or Yin yoga. And for those students wanting to dive a little deeper into Yin yoga.

Why practice Yin yoga?

1. Yin yoga calms the nervous system by engaging the parasympathetic nervous system. This switches off our ‘fight or flight’ response, reducing feelings of anxiousness, stress and overwhelm.
2. Yin yoga can quieten a busy mind – the practice is a meditative practice and results in a lot of the same benefits as meditation. It is also a great way to build on or start a meditation practice.
3. Yin yoga targets the connective tissues, such as the fascia, which supports the joints. This can help with joint health, mobility and range of motion – the reason Yin yoga often is referred to as ‘Yoga of the Joints’.
