Yin classes are offered at our studio once a week, and today I finally tried it. I didn't know what to expect, just had an idea the postures would be held for a long time, and it ended up being longer than I expected sometimes, and sometimes it was quite intense. Also, I had the feeling that my legs turned into noodles, and wondered if that could be a good thing, and felt very fragile at times. I'm supposing all this is normal, and somehow I managed to bounce back am back up walking around again and feeling pretty good about the first class, and am looking forward to the next one.
Any suggestions as to how much yin one should do vs "regular" yoga?
If a class could be so constructed--would it make any sense to do 45 minutes of yin followed by 45 minutes of vinyasa?
