- This video provides an explanation of the principles of the Yin style of Yoga. It will differentiate this deep, juicy practice from the more muscular yang-styles of yoga. For more details on the practice, visit www.YinYoga.com.

There are two kinds of nerve generated sensations that can arise after or during a Yin yoga pose: the tingling sensation that can happen right away or after lingering in the pose and the pins and needle kind of sensation that usually happens at the end of the pose. The former is caused by compression of the nerve: not good - don't go there! The latter is caused when blood flow is cut off and then returns. That kind is not so bad, although still uncomfortable and not necessary.
Bernie Clark thanks for sharing
I am only coming across your TH-cam site today. Your explanations make Yin so relatable for me. Your wisdom Is "juicy " Thank you so much :)
Thanks for explaining so well. I look forward to becoming more familiar with the practice.
I am taking a workshop on yin yoga in two days and am looking forward to it. Thanks for the informative video.
Thank you, very helpful for school & beyond!

beautiful Thank you so much :) 💖

Glad you like them!
Thanks Bernie for a great introduction ti Yin yoga, very helpfull, and you do it som simple and easy:) I know you say that all yoga can help and its different which form is suited for one, but what do you think about Bikram yoga, is that to hard in general. You mention the view of Goldie Lock (dont know if I spell correct)? Namaste Brian
+Brian Dernje Nielsson Hot Yoga can be great for some people. Many teachers offer both their form of Hot Yoga (Bikram, Moksha, etc) and also Hot Yin classes. (Read my recent article on Hot Yin www.yinyoga.com/newsletter33_hotyin.php.) It is up to you to find the forms of yoga that your body responds best to - hot, vinyasa, Ashtanga, Iyengar, etc. Try them with intention and attention and see how your body and mind feel. Don't worry about performance; that's not the point. Check out whether these classes make you feel healthier, stronger, whole. Good luck!
About the tingling in 5: 05 that you talk about.. would you agree also if i said sometimes the tingling is good ? I think sometimes for me its as if i opened up muscles/tissues compressing a nerve and sensations are just rushing back. What do you think ?
Estaría bueno una traducción al español
Hi Bernie, I love this video and your website and have two of your books: Complete Guide to Yin Yoga and Your Body, Your Yoga. Love both books and am a fan of yours, if only you would do workshops or trainings in London! I have a question, would it be possible for me to use this video on my website next to two of my own yin yoga videos so that we can spread even more awareness of Yin Yoga?
Hi Patricia. Thanks for the cudos. It is possible for you to embed my videos in your site.Your web master should know how. Good luck!
@1:36 “..how long you should marinate..” I knew this was the video for me.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Which yoga style is best to increase flexibility?! Thank you!
All forms of yoga have their benefits and their advantages. Personally, I have found that the yin style of yoga maintains my mobility better than other styles, but that does not mean the other styles are not good. More active practices can work your heart and muscles which yin yoga does not directly affect. What is best for you is dependant upon your unique biology and biography. I would suggest you try one practice (perhaps start with yin yoga) for three month and see the changes. Then if the changes are not what you wanted, try a different style. Good luck!
@yininsights1 are pins and needles another for this tingling sensation that you spoke of?
Your sentence got a bit garble... If you are asking, "should we be aware of pins and needle feelings?" I would say yes. Those feeling often arise from blood flow being restricted and are usually felt after the pose, when the blood flows again. I don't see any health benefits to cutting off blood flow so, if this happens, come out of the pose and/or find another way to do the pose which don't restrict blood flow.
@@yinsights1 you are right, missed a word or two there. You are correct with your reply, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Loving the videos, very helpful for my Yin Yoga journey.
How might one employ Qigong with Yin yoga?
That's a great question for Paulie Zink. His teachings combine both yin and yang Daoist teachings. If you are just doing Yin Yoga, there is no movement: there is stillness. If you want a yang practice, you can do the regular forms of yoga. But if you want a Daoist practice to compliment your yin yoga, then Tai Chi or Qigong can be added. Watch some of Paulie's video to see how he does it. Not quite Qigong, but you could also try some of the Dragon movements from Paul Grilley: you will find them on his vide Yin Yoga video, at the end. Or you can check out my Dragon Dance at www.gaia.com/video/dragon-dance.
Glad that you are enjoying the yin-side!
Will the butterfly practice make my knees go down even very close to the floor?
@@joncen2658 Yes, no, maybe? It depends! What is stopping your knees right now from getting to the floor? If it is tension in the adductor muscles (do you feel a stretch in the inner groins?), then over time this may reduce allowing your knees to get lower. However, if it is compression felt at the back of your hips due to the neck of the femur impinging on the rim of the hip socket, then no amount of stretching will change that and you have reached the limits of what your body can do. This is explained in depth in the book Your Body, Your Yoga. Cheers!
Thanks for the reply. Usually not, but one time it tensed adductors too I remember. Thing is that I can't really tell it's a compression or deep tissue stretching. I doubt it be a compression though.
P.s. I want to increase flexibility of external rotation of the hips for sitting posture through yin yoga.
what quit breathing means, does it means deep long breaths, ujaay breathing
I assume you mean "quiet breathing" not "quit breathing". I don't recommend you quit breathing ;-) Quiet breathing is a soft breath that makes no sound, so - no it is not ujjayi. However, if you like a soft ujjayi, that can be okay for a little while, say a few minutes. No need to try to breathe any particular way at all: this is yin - allow the breath to breathe itself. Cheers!
thanks for clarifying . :-) and i will never quit breathing
one day, you will.
If i want to teach a mixed class of Yin/Yang, which would I do first ?
A good question, and one that comes up often. I will refer you to the Forum for a more complete answer: www.yinyoga.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=3826. Cheers!
Thank you so much, love your videos and have just ordered your book, The complete guide to Yin yoga.
Thanks! I hope you enjoy it. Cheers, Bernie
Nice package! I mean, class.. ;)
Namaste :)
Bernie I'm so grateful I found this channel today. My friend at KindSpring.org mentioned it in our Kindness Challenge feed. I love the room where you're practicing. Really lovely.
