Stimulates the meridians: Yin yoga is based on Chinese medicine and stimulates the meridians (energy channels) in the body, improving the flow of energy.
Helps release emotions: Because you stay in a pose for an extended period of time, emotion can be released. This can help you process and release this emotion.
Reduces back pain: Many yin yoga poses focus on the back and can help reduce back pain.
