Yin yoga is a very calm and meditative style of practice, yet very powerful in its effect. This type of practice offers great health benefits for our systems, for the organs, for the meridians (energy channels) in the body, and has an equally strong effect on the fascia that surrounds everything in the body. The stretching positions, held for 3 to 5 minutes, allow the body to let go deeply.
