Yin Yoga Primer at the Cameron Wellness Center

Yin Yoga is revolutionary in its quiet stillness. As opposed to most styles of yoga, which deal with muscle flexibility and activity, a Yin style focuses on stimulating the “chi” in passive connective tissues, ligaments and cartilage.

A Yin yoga practice reverses the contractile effects of aging on the shoulders, spine and hips. Richard will present Yin Yoga theory as it relates to Yoga philosophy, meditation practice and your own anatomy. He will then guide you through a quiet Yin practice. The workshop will conclude with breathing practices to assist in harvesting your awareness.

This workshop can be taught as single session outlining a complete basic practice, or can be broken down into two workshops dealing with different fascial lines.  Richard teaches a yin workshop for the deep front line and a second one for the side bodies.  The synergy between the two makes for a very reflective and contemplative four hours.
