$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.
