A Yin practice is great for releasing tension and building strength in ligaments and tendons. So, if you have chronic tension, back/neck/shoulder pain, very ‘tight’ joints or an old injury then Yin is an excellent practice for you! Static stretching isn’t always the answer to tightness because a lot of this ‘tight’ feeling isn’t due to contracted muscle fibres as we usually assume. If you suffer from stress, anxiety or are fatigued, the slowness and depth of Yin will probably be extremely good for you.
