The Yin/Yang Yoga practice is a balanced practice, incorporating both passive and active yoga elements, it draws harmony to the body and mind and the nervous system. The yin involves passively holding yoga poses to help release tension and increase circulation, while the more active yang postures help to increase stamina and build strength.

Yin yoga works on releasing the connective tissue. Poses are generally held for 2 to 5 minutes with the support of blankets, bolsters, straps and blocks, which allows the tissue to relax and release, while simultaneously working on the energy meridians in the body.
