What is Yin Yoga, what is fascia is fascia training?
Yin yoga is, as already partly mentioned above, a regenerative, quiet style of yoga in which the practitioner remains in the individual asanas in the individual asanas for several minutes. Yin Yoga was developed by the Americans Paul and Suzee Grilley (although the basic elements of this yoga style have probably existed elements), but has also been very popular in Europe for some time And popular in Europe. By holding the different asanas for a long time The effects of the various asanas can unfold fully. Especially the connective tissue, connective tissue, which is also the focus of fascial training, is more strongly addressed than with a quick change of asanas or only holding the posture for a short time. Passive, receptive, soft - these are qualities that correspond to the yin, the female pole, as it is called in Female pole, as described in Chinese philosophy, and these qualities are also what Yin Yoga is about.
The well-known
yin yoga teacher Stefanie Arend writes in an article that appeared in the magazine
YOGA AKTUELL magazine, she writes the following about the practice and the
Effects of Yin Yoga:

As Fascia training is the term used to describe specific exercises for the fasciae, i.e. the soft tissue components of the connective tissue. Fascia training is designed to "unstick" the fasciae and to keep them supple. For this purpose, fascial training uses is done, for example, with springy or oblique movements. At fascial training ensures, among other things, that the fascial tissue is once again tissue is evenly flooded with fluid.
