Summary

Yin yoga is a gentle, meditative practice that goes beyond muscle training. Fascia, ligaments and joints are gently stimulated through long, passive postures. The mind becomes calm, the breath deeper - deep relaxation ensues. Yin yoga helps to release tension, promote flexibility and harmonize the flow of energy. The focus is on mindfulness, letting go and surrendering rather than muscular strength.

In our hectic world, the yang aspect dominates - activity, performance, speed. Yin yoga creates balance: it specifically addresses the connective tissue - important for healthy joints, especially in old age. While muscles adapt quickly, fascia needs gentle, constant stimulation to remain supple and resilient. Yin yoga supports this and provides well-being and inner peace.

Our Yin Yoga seminars offer a variety of focuses to experience the gentle power of this practice from different perspectives:

🕉 Yin yoga and fascia training (01.-03.08.) - targeted exercises for fascial health that release tension and keep connective tissue supple.
🕉 Yin yoga retreat (31.08.-05.09.) - an intensive week of regeneration and self-care to immerse yourself deeply in the practice, recharge your batteries and find inner balance.
🕉 Yin Yoga (19.-21.09. / 22.-24.10.) - a weekend of mindfulness and letting go that gives you peace, flexibility and new impulses for your everyday life.
🕉 Yin Yoga and Mantra (03.-05.10.) - the combination of meditative yoga positions and healing sound work with mantras deepens your experience and opens the space for inner stillness and connection.
🕉 Slow down with yin yoga (31.10.-02.11.) - get out of the stress of everyday life and into a state of inner peace and serenity.

No matter which seminar you choose - Yin Yoga gives you a space for stillness, devotion and regeneration. Learn to sink into the postures with ease, consciously feel the moment and experience a deep connection to yourself.

🧘‍♂️ Basic knowledge of yoga and meditation required.

I was the first time at Yoga Vidya, and was immediately thrilled by the atmosphere and the noticeable high energy that I could refuel there. Will gladly come again.
