Book Reviews of YinSights: A Journey into the Philosophy & Practice of Yin Yoga
Book Review: Fantastic Comprehensive Resource for Students and Teachers of Yin Yoga
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been an admirer of Bernie Clark's [...] web site and Yinsights online, in particular, for years and am thrilled that Yinsights has finally been published in book format. Bernie's book is a must have in the spirit of Sarah Powers' and Paul Grilley's books. I might even say that it is more comprehensive and reader-friendly than almost any other Yin Yoga resource I have found. I recommend Yinsights to anyone interested in Yoga and Yin Yoga in particular. The Chakra system, the Meridian system, Daoist philosoply and meditation are areas particularly well handled in Yinsights. Worth every penny! Peace.
Summary of YinSights: A Journey into the Philosophy & Practice of Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga has the same goals and objectives as any other school of yoga; however, it directs the stimulation normally created in the asana portion of the practice deeper than the superficial or muscular tissues (which we are calling the yang tissues). Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, bones, and even the joints of the body that normally are not exercised very much in a more active style of asana practice.Suitable for almost all levels of students, Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat, and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles. Yin Yoga generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine.
YinSights not only describes how to practice Yin Yoga, it also presents reasons why we should practice Yin Yoga. You will look closely at the three major ways of exploring energy beginning with the most ancient philosophy of India, then the Chinese Daoist view, and finally the evolving Western scientific understanding. You will learn about the physical, mental and spiritual benefits of this balancing practice.
