Summer Yin Yoga with Karina

What's it about?

What is Yin Yoga? Yin Yoga is a particularly gentle and calm type of yoga. Most forms of modern yoga include active exercises that aim to strengthen the muscular part of the body (the so-called "Yang half"). Yin Yoga is different. Here, the aim is to relax the muscles in order to reach the ligaments, connective tissue, and joints of the body (the so-called "Yin half"). Yin Yoga has a long tradition and is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), where the concept of meridians prevails. In TCM, meridians are understood as energy pathways that run through the entire body and connect organs, muscles, and tissues. With the help of Yin Yoga, these energy lines are to be stimulated to bring about a balance of physical and mental health.
