How much should I rest between practices?
A question I often get as a yoga teacher is, “how often can I do Yin Yoga?” The answer is — it depends! It depends upon your own unique biology, biography, how intensely you do your practice and with what intention. Every body and all tissues need exercise to be healthy but they also need rest to be optimal. How much rest you need is an interesting question and the answer requires a deeper dive into the physiology of our tissues. Read on to discover how often you can practice yoga, running, weight training or any other forms of exercise.
In this course, you’re invited to learn the techniques of yin yoga in a way that will allow you to share this practice with others. Bernie Clark and Diana Batts will guide you through the theory behind yin yoga, illustrating the physiological, energetic, and psychological benefits. You’ll also dive deeply into the practice, learning how to safely do yin yoga as well as teach it to others.
