YinSights: A Journey into the Philosophy & Practice of Yin Yoga

"'YinSights' is a look deep inside the benefits of Yoga, as viewed by both the Eastern and Western worlds. The book is divided into two main sections: the first investigates the benefits of Yoga in general, and Yin Yoga in particular, on the physical body, the energetic body and the mind/emotional body. Three points of view are presented: those of the Yogis in India, the Daoists in China and the medical and scientific researchers in the West. The book offers a look inside the deepest and most ubiquitous tissues of the body, the connective tissues, and explores what happens to these tissues as we practice Yoga. In the second section of the book, YinSights explores the practices of Yin Yoga in detail. This section could be considered a complete, stand-alone book describing the way to practice Yin Yoga and the asanas normally used. Several flows are offered with different themes: flows for the spine and hips and flows to increase energy movement to the kidneys and liver. Throughout the book over 200 pictures and drawings are used to help illustrate the technical points presented as well as clarify the practice"--
