It is practice of breath regulation, an exercise for physical and mental wellness. In Sanskrit, “prana” means life energy and “yama” means control. A regular pranayama practice would stimulate the parasympathetic system(relax & healing status), countering the overstimulation (stressed, tightness and overthinking) which most of us often are. What is Yin yoga? Quieter aspect to yoga can introduce us to the possibility of physical, emotional, mental equilibrium by marring the softer, contemplative modes of being in life to there stronger activities we are so often compelled by. Yin is a dark, negative and wet side of our being that makes our body ready to rest. It relaxes our muscles, and releases resistance in our body and mind. Yin side of yoga practice is super powerful if we acknowledge the holistic benefit. In modern life, (in a city like Los Angeles and Tokyo) there is so much Yang, strong masculine positive bright energy, constantly. Yin perspective of yoga practice will balances us out harmoniously. When we have harmony within, we feel light and open, rejuvenated and renewed, and centered and grounded. We can sleep better, communicate better, and any types of relationship and creation get easier with a fulfilled heart.
