Yin Yoga Poses & Sequences

In this lesson, we explain the distinguishing characteristics of a pose practiced in Yin Yoga style (vs. the yang version) and provide a list of poses commonly found in Yin Yoga plus sample sequences.

Objective

Gain an understanding of the characteristics that distinguish the ways in which a pose is practiced in Yin Yoga and review a list of common poses and sample sequences.

Description

Review the perspective that poses are not typically yin poses or yang poses per se, but rather that there are distinguishing characteristics for how a pose is practiced that creates the differentiation. Give examples of pose naming in Yin Yoga and provide a list of poses commonly found in Yin Yoga.
