Yin Yoga for Cognitive Training
Lying with your legs up the wall and breathing slowly? Vagus nerve senses you’re in a calm state and sends that message back up to the brain, so that it can help you move out of the sympathetic nervous system (‘fight or flight’) and into a parasympathetic state (‘rest and digest’).
Yin Yoga for Healthy Heart
Just as inversions like headstand and shoulderstand bring fresh blood flow and oxygen to the brain and upper body, Viparita Karani allows fresh, oxygenated blood to flow to the upper extremities, as well as stimulating the flow of lymphatic fluid.
Yin Yoga for Sound sleep
This pose can help you relax and reduce stress and help you fall asleep and improve your sleep quality.
Yin Yoga to Control Blood Sugar
This pose can help support overall metabolic health and insulin sensitivity. Also stimulates the pancreas and other internal organs.
Yin Yoga to fight Depression & Anxiety
Viparita Karani can help relieve stress and tension by calming the nervous system. This posture allows lymphatic drainage, improves blood circulation and calms the mind.
Yin Yoga for relieving body pain
Practicing a few minutes of Viparita Karani can help reduce pressure on the lower back, as well as relieving feelings of heaviness and fatigue in the feet, legs and hips.
