Hi . I am Dr. Robyn Charlton if the MindFitnessDr.
Begin to Yin is a series of classes introducing you to and explaining the principles of MindFitness Yin yoga.
If you are new to yoga ( or not so new) , then this is the class for you .
Yin yoga is mainly floor based postures held for a period of time .It stretches the fascial tissues , removing fuzz and hydrating that area, removing stiffness and improving flexibility.
We use props such as pillows , bolsters and blocks so we can relax the muscles and get into the ligaments, tendons etc.
As it is slow medicine , it is an opportunity for us also to practice our microMindfitness practices.
It is about a target area, not a target pose so different variations are given for each posture . We all have different skeletal variations , so we all look different in the same pose.
When we stretch we also release a hormone called GABA from our brains , which turns off our flight or fight sympathetic nervous system. That is one of the reasons why we feel so relaxed after a class.
I found Yin yoga to be an integral part of my recovery from Burnout , and hope you enjoy this introductory series .
