Introduced function

Yin Yoga is a school founded by American yoga instructor Paul Grilley on 1979, with many practitioners. He himself is a doctor of medicine. Combining his own yoga practice experience and medical advantages, he carefully studied the connective tissue of human body with several Japanese scholars, and combined the essence of China Taoism and martial arts with the essence of yoga, forming a novel school. Yin yoga is not another branch or another name of yoga posture, but is recognized and accepted as a relatively new school. Yin yoga emphasizes the relaxation of the whole body, the removal of all distractions and the combination of slow and natural breathing, maintaining long-term movements, exercising bones and their connective tissues, regulating the nervous system and enhancing endurance in a state of complete muscle relaxation, so as to achieve the realm of physical and mental unity.

Style characteristic

First of all, the focus is on stretching the connective tissue of the body, bones, ligaments, lubricating fluid and periosteum between bones. Using the yoga posture method, each movement is still for a period of time, 3-5 minutes, and sometimes even 65,438+00 minutes. The main exercise parts are pelvis and lower back. Therefore, in the process of practice, it pays attention to the extension of the body, moves slowly, and stays within its own limits for a long time, thus achieving good results, which is also its greatest feature.

Second, slow and slender breathing, long rest, let the muscles of the body completely relax, thus stretching the connective tissue of the bones.

Third, let your feelings go inward and pay attention to your own experience.

Fourth, in the process of yoga practice, exercise people's endurance and lay a good foundation for meditation. From the perspective of human body, blood and muscles are positive, while bones and internal organs are negative, but this understanding is relative. Yin and Yang cannot develop in the same direction at the same time, and must be balanced with each other.

Emphasis is placed on stretching muscles, massaging internal organs, strengthening the spine, coordinating with slow and slender breathing, and regulating the nervous system to achieve the realm of physical and mental unity. Most of what we usually practice belongs to Yang Yoga. Practice object: ordinary men, women and children can practice. Practitioners with bone injuries need to consult a doctor before practicing.
