100 Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training Course in Rishikesh
CONCUR THE BALANCE OF THE OPPOSITE WITH YIN YOGA
Discover the advantages of Yin Yoga with the help of our 100 Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, where you can practice Yin Yoga and be yourself at the same time. If you are a complete beginner to Yin Yoga and would like to know more about mindfulness or you are an experienced Yoga teacher who would like to incorporate Yin Yoga into your repertoire, then this course is for you.
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced practice that works on the joints, connective tissues, ligaments, fascia, and tendons. Unlike dynamic Yang styles, Yin Yoga requires you to take longer time on the poses hence balancing, stretching and relaxing the body and the mind.
The contemporary world tends to drag people to constant engagement, which results in stress and detachment. Yin Yoga is the cure – a method of recharging, rejuvenating and realigning your spirit, thoughts and physical self. On the other hand, this 100-hour training is not just about assimilation of information. It equips one to teach Yin Yoga, and also how to use Yin Yoga for self and in helping others in their lives.
The History of Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga was developed from the Yin and Yang concepts which are rooted in the Chinese culture of Taoism. Yin and Yang are two forces that are diametrically opposed to each other but are interdependent; Yin is related to stillness, night, and passivity while Yang is related to movement, day, and activity, and are basic principles in Chinese philosophy, Traditional Chinese Medicine and spirituality. This balance of opposites is ensuring order in the universe and also in our physical framework.
In Taoist tradition Yin Yoga is linked to yin or the passive or the feminine energy that is linked to stillness and passiveness. The ancient Taoists have learned that if one stretches his muscles for a long time and makes slow movements, then the stagnated energy can be released and one’s health improves. These have later developed into the physical exercise commonly referred to as yoga and were the backbone of Yin Yoga.
Besides this practice, the energy circulation is also passed through the meridians which are associated with the organs and emotions by the TCM. Unlike today’s famous styles like Vinyasa and Ashtanga, Yin Yoga is perfect for toning muscles. It assists practitioners to release their fascia and mind and is therefore appropriate for our Yang paradigm lifestyles. Today, Yin Yoga is practiced all over the world to maintain balance, flexibility and to heal the inner self. As will be seen it has principles that are still as valid today as they were thousands of years ago.
Benefits of Yin Yoga
Improved Joint Flexibility: Yin Yoga also helps to hydrate the connective tissues and increase their flexibility in order to alleviate stiffness.
Enhanced Energy Flow: Because of the prolonged stimulation of the energy meridians, chi or the life force energy is balanced and brings about better vigor and emotional health.
Stress Relief: Yin Yoga slows down the heart rate and reduces stress levels since it works on the parasympathetic nervous system.
Emotional Healing: Laying down in a Yin Yoga pose frees the emotions and helps to gain mental strength and clarity thanks to the ability to remain still.
Better Sleep Quality: Yin Yoga practice makes the body and mind to be more relaxed and when the practice is done constantly, the sleep of practitioners is restored.
Mindfulness and Self-Awareness: Sustaining postures for these periods increases concentration and focuses on the body and mind and the surrounding environment.
