Yin Yoga, the practice of holding a floor passive pose for 3 minutes or more to access mobility in the connective tissue is sometimes misunderstood. What is this connective tissue? Where is it? And why should we stretch it at all? Join Joe Barnett, one of Yin Yoga’s most respected teachers, as he reveals the truth behind the philosophy and physiology of Yin Yoga and its benefit to practitioners. Through a hands on interactive study of skeletal landmarks and joint range of motion Joe will lead you to appreciate natural anatomical variances and how they should inform you as a Yoga Teacher in adapting postures for different individuals. Students will come to understand what stretching connective tissue really means and how to discern and discriminate sensations such as Tension vs. Compression, Muscle vs. Fascia and Physical vs. Subtle Energy.

While sometimes Restorative and Yin Yoga are mistakenly thought to be the same practice with different nomenclature, they are actually quite different in both form and function.
Restorative yoga is designed to remove stress from the body so it can fully relax, rest deeply and heal. Yin Yoga is intended to place an optimal amount of stress on the body, specifically targeting the connective tissue, to engender its peak performance. In this workshop Flossie Park will educate you on how to discriminate between, and teach the poses of, both restorative and yin practices. You will learn how to adapt the practices and the postures for each student’s specific needs, knowing when to employ which practice and why.”
