Yin Yoga

 
Yin Yoga, developed by Paul Grilley, is a modern cross-discipline system of exercise that represents an application of Taoist analysis to the practice of Hatha Yoga.
The practice of Yin Yoga consists of postures selected to gently stretch and release the connective tissues around major joints, and put slight pressure on the joints themselves. Postures are performed with muscles held as relaxed as possible (body weight is used for leverage as needed), and are held anywhere from 2 min (beginners) to 10 min (more advanced practitioners).
