🧘‍♀️ What is Yin Yoga?

Yin Yoga is a quiet, meditative form of yoga where each pose is held for 3–5 minutes or more. By releasing muscular tension and surrendering to gravity, it gently stimulates deep tissues such as fascia, joints, and ligaments.

🌊 Why does Yin Yoga release emotions?Yin focuses on “just being”—doing nothing, simply staying still. This stillness allows:

• Suppressed emotions stored in fascia to surface

• Activation of the parasympathetic nervous system (rest & restore mode)

• Deep subconscious emotional release

One single release can shift your whole body. This idea aligns with fascia and the concept of “tensegrity”—when one point relaxes, the entire system adjusts. In other words, the body whispers: “You’re safe now.”

🧠 Connection with the Subconscious MindIn Yin Yoga, your brainwaves slow from beta (thinking) to alpha or theta. These frequencies allow access to the subconscious—unlocking emotional patterns and cellular memories.

🌸 In SummaryYin Yoga is not about movement—it’s about feeling. By accessing deep fascia and your subconscious mind, Yin gently releases emotional tension and guides you back to your true self.

🌿 Tips for Practice

• Breathe deeply: Long exhalations activate the parasympathetic nervous system.

• Don’t resist your emotions: Tears, anger, or memories surfacing are part of the healing.

• No over-stretching: Yin is about softening—aim for 70% of your edge.
