The world is a hectic place and everyone needs a way to unwind. However, what works for one person often does not work for someone else. Yin Yoga may be the answer which everyone is seeking but very few have heard of or understand yet.
Yoga has been practiced in one form or another for thousands of years; it originated in India although it did not become well known in the western world until the late twentieth century. In all probability the yoga that you have heard of focuses on the yang energy, which is a more superficial, raw energy than yin. Yin energy is much deeper and more passive. Of course, they are two sides of one coin and the best exercise for your body and mind is a combination of both.
