Addressing Concerns about Yin Yoga
The practice of Yin Yoga can generate many heartfelt opinions, from the euphoric to the demonic. Many students who have been practicing yin for years rave about the benefits they have received and how much they love it. But there are also many students, teachers and studio owners who believe the practice to be dangerous and ill-conceived. What is the reality? Should Yin Yoga be avoided by all and sundry or eagerly embraced? The intention of this document is to address many of the common concerns that I have heard about Yin Yoga. The approach will be to list topics containing the concerns and then provide counterpoints and insights. I hope you find this valuable. If you would like to provide comments about this document, please feel free to do so on the Forum here.
