$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.
