Dragon Pose Tip #1 #yinpose #christelwellnessyoga #yinyoga Hey Yogis 🐉 Here is my first tip for you to get into Dragon pose comfortably (also known as Low Lunge in Hatha yoga) and be able to hold this pose for several minutes. Too often students go too far in the pose from the start and therefore cannot hold the pose for very long. It is key in Yin Yoga to take your time to find your edge in the pose at the beginning of the pose before settling into it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCOUNT COUPONS: For Worldwide Yogis use my Manduka Coupons As you can see in this video I am using a Manduka mat (model: EKO 5mm) which I absolutely love and can't recommend enough!

Yin yoga is often called the Yoga of the joints because unlike other styles of yoga, the emphasis is not on the muscles but on the deep connective tissue. Connective tissue is made up of fascia, ligaments and tendons which surround and form your joints. Yin yoga improves the range of motion in your joints and also strengthens them. The results and benefits are more flexibility and greater range of motion and also more stability within your joints. You really do get a Yin Yoga "Total Body Stretch" There are 3 principles of Yin yoga: 1. Find your edge 2. Be still 3. Hold the pose Find your edge means respecting your body's limits and not pushing too far and risking injury. Pull back a little bit and as you hold the pose you will be able to go deeper into it without pushing too far or hurting yourself. Being still means that once you are in the pose it is important to completely relax your muscles so the benefits can get into the connective tissues and joints. Try not to fidget or move or distract yourself, this is a meditative practice. Breathe deeply in and out through the nose. This is a Yin Yoga Deep Stretch Class | Release All That No Longer Serves You. It is your opportunity to relax deeply and let go of your worries, stress and tension, let go :-) Holding the pose means that in Yin Yoga a pose can be held for 1-10 minutes depending on the pose performed and on the comfort level of the student. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✅ SUBSCRIBE TO SUPPORT FREE YOGA ON THE INTERNET https://www.youtube.com/@christelwellnessyoga 🔔 Don’t forget to click on the bell to turn on post notifications!
