Insight Yoga

Insight Yoga

In Yin Yoga Yoga asanas are held passively for several minutes. This stimulates the meridians. The book is a new synthesis of yoga and TCM (Chinese Medicine). In effect, we practiced a kind of self-acupuncture through yoga.

This point is very user friendly, without too much waffle, with many photos. It is clearly written with helpful tips and does not use any esoteric ramblings. A standard work. The author is very sympatish and authentic. Yin yoga helps me a lot when I'm too broke for Yang (dynamic hatha yoga). I've been taught through the book myself and it works successfully. The only critical note from me: if you bring a certain amount of agility on, otherwise the holding of the positions to be exhausting. It is hoped that yin yoga is more widely!
