Yoga Styles: Yin Yoga
Sthira sukhamÄsanam – Asana is a steady and comfortable posture ~ Patanjali, Sutra 2.46
As mentioned in the Yoga sutras asana is steady and comfortable, two Yin qualities.
To be able to sit for a long period of time in deep, undisturbed meditation the body needs to be open and strong. This opening especially in the hips and lower back can be developed through a dedicated yin practice.
Yin Yoga targets the deep connective tissues of the body (vs. the superficial tissues) and the fascia that covers the body; this Daoist yoga helps to regulate the flow of energy in the body.
The yin energy is ruled by the moon and enhances coolness and calmness in body and mind. The stillness of the body experienced in this yoga practice creates stillness of the mind and ultimately helps us to realize our true nature.
Our 50 hours Yin Yoga teacher training in the Eifel Nationalpark in Heimbach, Germany is a six days course and we will work about 8-10 hours together every day.

Program Highlights
The way we know and practice Yin Yoga was developed by Paul Grilley in the late 80s. It is based on Daoist Yoga that combines the ancient Indian traditions with the Chinese energy system (meridians), his knowledge of anatomy and the meridian theory. It is a great complementary practice to all the yang Yoga styles and highly recommended for those of you who practice Ashtanga Vinyasa or Vinyasa Yoga to balance your yin and yang energies.
