Complete Guide to Yin Yoga

DESCRIPTION
The Complete Guide to Yin Yoga provides an in-depth look at the philosophy and practice of Yin Yoga. Clark's fascinating and comprehensive book is divided into three sections:

(I) What is Yin Yoga

(II) The Benefits of Yin Yoga, including discussions of anatomy, the energy body, and the heart and mind body

(III) The Practice of Yin Yoga, including illustrated descriptions of 30 yin yoga asanas (poses).

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 (the yang tissues). Yin Yoga generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine.

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.

REVIEWS
"Bernie Clark's Yinsights is one of the best yoga resources now available, no matter what your preferred style of practice."
Paul Grilley - author of Yin Yoga: Principles and Practice

"Yin Yoga is a practice much needed in today's difficult, divisive times. It offers us a way to leave behind our ideas of how we should be, and return to our true selves, where all lasting healing takes place. Bernie Clark has written a wonderfully detailed account of the history, philosophy, and practice of Yin Yoga. I recommend it not only for those interested in Yin Yoga, but for all yoga practitioners."
Biff Mithoefer - author of The Yin Yoga Kit

"The Complete Guide to Yin Yoga is for both curious students and dedicated teachers of Yin Yoga. Bernie Clark is thoughtful and thorough as he arranges the immense body of knowledge, which influences the practice of Yin Yoga. He manages to weave threads of historical foundation, theoretical elucidation and practical application into a tapestry rich in spiritual tradition. This work could only come into being authentically through the efforts of a passionate spirit who has dedicated his life to the journey and has experienced some harmony along the way."
