Qu'est ce que le Yin Yoga ?

Une approche méditative, introspective du Yoga, douce et intense à la fois pour développer votre conscience du corps, l'accueil de l'Instant Présent et du silence.

Parce que tout va très vite dans notre quotidien, que la rapidité et la performance sont valorisées, le Yin nous invite à un temps de pause, pour souffler, observer ce qui est là, donner du temps au corps pour se relâcher, s'assouplir et recharger les batteries.

Le yin yoga se caractérise par des postures lentes et longues (3 à 5 minutes) qui permettent d'étirer et travailler les tissus profonds.

Le relâchement se fait par la gravité, permettant la détente et le lâcher-prise.

De la musique est associée aux postures pour aider, accompagner le corps et le mental à se poser.

Benefits :

Full Yogic Breath revitalizes the entire body with prana (essential life force).

It relieves stress, refreshes the mind, and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, encouraging a calmer, more balanced state of being overall.

How:

Choose a comfortable seated or lying position. If sitting, make sure that your pelvic bones are rooted into the surface beneath you, and that your spine is straight. If you prefer to lie down, lie on your back and relax your entire body.

Gently close your eyes and take a few moments to settle in. Close your mouth and breathe only through your nostrils. Begin by simply observing the natural flow your breath. Let go of any thoughts and allow yourself to arrive completely in the present moment.

Full Yogic Breath begins with a deep and fluid inhalation that fills three sections of the torso independently, but continuously.

First, we breathe into the lower abdomen.

Then, we breathe into the mid-section of the torso, expanding the diaphragm and the ribs as the inhalation continues.

And finally, we draw the breath into the upper chest and shoulders as the inhalation comes to a close.

This slow and purposeful inhalation is then followed by a long, slow, gentle exhale, expelling the breath from these same three sections of the torso in reverse order, releasing the upper chest, then the diaphragm and ribs, and finally the lower abdomen.

After several rounds of Full Yogic Breath (up to fifteen minutes), allow your breathing to return to normal for a minute or two before gently opening your eyes and bringing your practice to a close.
