Yin Yoga on Physical Media (DVDs, CD, etc.)
Before YouTube and Zoom became household names, Yin Yoga was already being shared through physical media. Below are some of the key DVD, CD, and streaming offerings by leading Yin Yoga teachers. While DVDs are no longer as common, many of these teachings are now available in digital formats.
Yin Yoga Posters
This poster of Yin Yoga asana poses is now available online. It is brought to you from the book The Language of Yin by Gabrielle Harris. It contains over 80 Yin asanas and variations—including wall yin. Use it as a reference for home practice or class design. Clear, informative, and detailed, it deserves a place in your studio. Available on Etsy. A smaller posture with few poses is also available on Etsy.
