What is Yin Yoga Integration?
In Chinese philosophy, Yin Yang theory describes how the seemingly opposite forces of Yin & Yang are at the same time complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world. Yin represents the passive, internal, quiet, contemplative aspects while Yang represents the more active, external aspects of the self and all of life.
In modern society, the tendency is to become overly Yang, which can lead to the depletion of Yin, thereby damaging the body’s fluids, hormones and connective tissue. Overstimulation of Yang energy also leads to over-activation of the central nervous system, inhibiting your natural processes of sleep, relaxation and digestion.
