Emphasizing the techniques of vipassana (insight) meditation and Taoist yoga, this method of practice is an opportunity to go inward. Yin yoga is the practice of holding various postures for longer periods of time; sometimes as long as 5-10 minutes in length. Practicing the postures in this way allows one a deeper relationship with the subtle aspects of practice; and this in turn allows the body to relax in a way that creates access to the layers of tissue that comprise the muscular system's underlying foundation - namely, that of connective tissue. Due to the length of time in each posture, the majority of yin practice consists of a more gentle floor-based and meditative practice (vipassana-like); depth of experience results not from efforting, but rather arises naturally due to the extended time in each posture.
