Great Yin practice book! Detailed and gives flow examples. Very informative!

Amazing book! Very detailed instructions, information and photos for developing a Yin yoga practice.

I had to purchase this book for a Yin yoga workshop I took, and I have to say, the book does a good job of explaining the poses, how to get in and out of the poses, the pictures are very helpful. The information is great, however, I was following along with the instructor. Chapter 1 & 2 were a great introduction along with Chapters 7 & 8. I will be using this book when I prep for my classes. It's a very well written book, and I would recommend it.

I was doing research on gentle forms of yoga and found the term Yin Yoga so I ordered this book. Its great. I've been doing his set of Asanas several times a week and I'm seriously considering getting certified to become a Yin Yoga instructor. I'm 60, and I have arthritis since I was 40. I've been doing physical therapy and stretching exercises since I was diagnosed with arthritis to prevent deteriorating. I started yoga about a year ago for variety and I'm loving it. But because of my age and conditions i wanted gentler yogas. Found Yin and Restorative and got several book here on Amazon. I'm alternating Yin, Restorative and the Yoga card sets. I haven't done my regular stretching or physical therapy exercises since I started yoga. Doesn't mean I won't again. But Yin and Restorative yoga have been a blessing and tons of fun!

I have enjoyed learning about yin yoga with this book. Has a lot of good information about yin yoga. Nice visuals of the poses, great descriptions and good information for modifications. Nice intro info about meridians and which ones apply to each yin yoga pose. I would recommend if your are wanting an overview of yin.

I have never looked into yin yoga, and thought it would be a good balancing movement to learn about. I was underprepared by the wealth of knowledge and value this book contains! It briefly discusses history, how yin and yang movements work together, and then the middle has specific poses and guidelines to help release and stress deep tissue. It does a great job at not just explaining the how, but the why. What took my experience to the next level was the whole 2nd half of the book!! It bridges the gap between western science and eastern energetics! It talks about all the various body tissues, systems, cellular processes, etc (in easily understood language) to help explain how amazingly complex, and brilliant our bodies are. It also helps emphasize how we can heal ourselves. My book has become well loved from the worn cover, marked pages, highlights etc. Definately one that will stay ok my shelf for continuous reference.

I honestly cannot give this book enough stars. This guide to Yin Yoga is the gold standard of a practice guide. It is written succinctly and gives good examples and background. The postures are complete, excellent pictures, and shows in a very user-friendly format modifications, contraindications, and counter poses. NO LIE... I TOOK A 200 hr YTT and am currently in a 300 hour YTT, and this book is by far the source of the most I’ve learned! THIS BOOK WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY LIBRARY AND WILL BE MY GO-TO. Great job on this book! I can not recommend it enough to those who want a straight forward yin philosophy and practice guide.

Excelente libro y muy comprensivo para entender mejor el poder de yin yoga, y la teoría de yin y yan. Me encanta. El libro llegó en condiciones perfectas - envio muy rápido. Muchas gracias.

Great book for yin yoga.

プロップスを使って、その方の柔軟性や可動域に応じてのバリエーションのポーズの写真もあり、初心者の方や年配の方でも優しくポーズがとれそうです。 写真は白黒なのと、ポーズの順序は文章のみなので、少し見づらい部分も有りますが、 そのポーズの目的とターゲット部分は何処なのか？ １つ１つ説明されていますので、沢山読み込んでいきたいと思います。

É um livro incrível, altamente recomendado. Ele nos ajuda a compreender e aperfeiçoar cada postura de yoga, oferecendo orientações detalhadas.

A mí nuera que es yogista...le ha encantado que se lo regale
