Yin Yoga, the follow-up to my book, The Key to Happiness, brings you everything you need to begin your journey down the physical and spiritual path of Yin yoga, and to experience the many benefits it has to offer.
While everyone has the ability to improve their lives, many people are lacking the knowledge and tools needed to begin. I was once one of these people, working as a detective with the police force. Overcome by stress, fear, and unrest, I turned to the yogic lifestyle, becoming a certified Experienced Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 500) and a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP). After fifteen years of walking the path of the yogi on my spiritual quest, this is what I have discovered, and I would like to share with you this knowledge and the tools needed to accomplish your goal of a better life.
While you may be familiar with standard Yoga classes, Yin yoga is much more powerful and meditative. This process focuses on promoting a deep physical, spiritual, and mental awareness. Rather than just working the surface of your joints and muscles, you can work your deeper tissues. Your connective tissues and fascia are included in the poses as well. People often lose vital flexibility as they age, with stiffness in the fascia causing pain, which results in the muscles becoming overworked. Yin yoga helps to increase flexibility and overall health as you age, reducing the risk of injury.
By simply reading this book, you can gain the insight and understanding you need to start practicing Yin yoga today. At this point in your life, you may be the caterpillar that, with time and dedication, transforms into a butterfly through the power of the yogic lifestyle. All you have to do is begin.
