The Yin and the Yang of Yoga

8/16/2019

0 Comments

 
I must confess that I've been guilty of focusing on more of the Yang in my Yoga practice. I like the fire and the heat, the exertion and the sweat. But recently, probably because of the cold winter mornings, I've started implementing more yin inspired movements into my practice. Yin Yoga is a practice that works on the deep connective tissues of the muscles. You don't work yourself up into a sweat so you want to keep warm by wearing a few layers of clothing. Starting off the morning 'rugged up' with long pants and socks on is a new sensation for me on the mat, but I love it! Some mornings I'll do nothing but Yin, other days I'll mix up the yin with a Vinyasa flow. Check out this article about why Yin Yoga could be the refresher your practice needs. I'll be bring more Yin to my classes. More info to follow soon!
Namaste fellas..

Why do Yoga?

I started Yoga after my running 'career' left me with frayed Achilles Heels. I loved jogging up and down the hills of Redcliffs and Sumner in Christchurch, New Zealand, but my heels didn't. The constant flexion of the heel whilst running up the hill was not good for me. The knees also took a beating when I came down the hill (!) as I was using them as brakes, basically. So, I took up Yoga and haven't looked back. I read this article (below)  today which  made me think about my on/off journey and how I've now come to practice Yoga 4-5 times a week.
