What is Yin Yoga

It is a new style where certain passive yoga poses are held for a longer duration of time. The poses can be held for 3-10 minutes. In Yin Yoga, only the passive (yin) poses are used. The use of muscles is kept to a minimum, so the muscles are gently engaged to hold the posture without any extra effort. As the poses are to be held for a longer duration, the use of props like cushions, bolsters, etc., is encouraged
