Video: Yin Yoga Workshop Intro

Zack began the workshop with a clear and entertaining talk about what is “yin yoga”  – the deep internal  tissue work that will change the body and mind. Then the class started with a wonderful warm-up exercise called “monkey retreat – monkey advance”  that reminded the webteam of tai chi. After warm up, the class entered this “yin” state of long held poses that relaxed and stretched the body. At the same time, the mind scanned the body and released tension, while yielding to gravity.

If you attended the workshop, please consider leaving a comment below of you experience. Thanks!
