Yoga Everyday for a Year - DAY 47

DAY 47 - I ended my week with some evening Yin Yoga. Yin Yoga is basically yoga for the joints, instead of the muscles. It targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, bones, and the joints of the body that normally are not exercised very much in a more active style of asana practise. It also targets the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. It is quite challenging in a different way due to the long duration of the poses, or very deep stretches. This is a practise where I really enjoy using props, and find blocks especially helpful. I feel so open and free after Yin Yoga, especially in the hips and pelvis.
