$59.00 Yin Yoga: Theory and Science of Joint and Fascial Tending
with Machelle
Lee, MA, E-RYT 500, CMT, YACEP
Yin Yoga utilizes floor poses held for
3-5 minutes each in order to modestly, within limits, target and
stimulate fascia and ligaments through traction and compression. This
basic introduction to Yin Yoga theory and its simple repertoire of poses
is self-empowering for the support and physical therapy of the
ligaments that make up joint capsules and the fascia network of the low
back, spine, hips, sacrum, knees and ankles. In this workshop, the
foundational principles of Yin Yoga will be discussed as well as the
chemical responses that occur in the joints based on modern tissue
regeneration research of why Yin Yoga is so uniquely therapeutic and
rehabilitative to the joints. This workshop is meaningful for those who
are curious about how this approach can aid their joints and fascia,
teachers who are interested in incorporating Yin Yoga principles into
their classes, and for those who are hankering for a decadently long Yin
Yoga practice.
All are welcome. No previous yoga experience needed.
Yoga teachers can earn 3 CEU hours for Yoga Alliance.
