Knowing what the asanas are does not create a yoga practice. Before you attempt Yin Yoga you may want to consider why you are practicing and how you will practice. There are three things you could think about before hitting your mat:
1. How to begin the practice
2. How to choose the asanas and sequence them together
3. How to end the practice
We will visit each topic in turn. Once you have answers to these three questions, you can begin to flow. In fact, that is what the practice is often called: the flow. Learning how to create your own flows can be quite fun and rewarding, but it can also take a lot of experience to structure flows optimally. We will provide several example flows designed for specific themes or intentions. You can also find several well-designed, yin-style flows in the following sources:
