Mindfully create replenishing Yin Yoga sequences
And experience stillness and serenity in your daily life
Why Yin Yoga?
In our fast paced lifestyles we can all do with some more stillness. Yin Yoga gives us the opportunity to slow down, connect deeper within, and nourish our bodies, minds, and souls.
Yin Yoga is a slow, passive and meditative style. The practice calls for long-held stretches targeting the deeper connective tissue, such as the fascia, tendons, and ligaments. More dynamic styles of yoga do not stretch these tissues, so it’s common for us to have tightness there.
Yin Yoga is closely linked to Traditional Chinese medicine, making it a truly holistic practice that connects us with our lifeforce (chi). The postures target particular meridian pathways, which can help to release physical tension and improve how you feel mentally and emotionally.
Moreover, the practice of Yin Yoga calls for slow, deep breathing, which calms the nervous system, stimulating the “relaxation response”. This makes Yin Yoga an antidote to stress and anxiety.

How does it work?
The Yin Yoga Deck is a beautiful work of art consisting of 68 cards. The 3 categories of warm-up, poses, and restore cards will help you to create yin yoga sequences and cultivate a more mindful practice where you can disconnect from everything.
Chakras
On the top of each card we added which chakra the pose activates. For each pose, you can find highlighted, the chakras involved. This way, you can easily create sequences based on a specific chakra theme, or discover a deeper understanding of each pose on an energetic level.
In addition, we have included 7 bonus chakra cards. Each illustrated card features a description and affirmation of that particular chakra. Plus, in the manual, you will find a complete explanation of each chakra, providing you with the knowledge you need to work with this energetic system.

Intro
Before learning the postures, it’s vital to gain some understanding of where Yin Yoga comes from and what makes it unique. Yin requires a totally different approach to other yoga styles, and Illona shares the insights she has gained from years of studying, practicing, and teaching Yin Yoga.
Warm Up
Although Yin yoga is known as a gentle style, some postures are more challenging than others. Doing some light movement before the deep, long-held poses will significantly help you let go of any physical or mental tension, so that you can fully surrender to the process. This section covers the best movements and stretches for preparing the body and mind.
Poses
Here we get into all the juicy Yin postures. While traditionally most yin poses target the lower body, Illona shares some awesome stretches for the upper body too, giving you a complete, full-body practice. Learn how to approach some familiar asanas in the “yin way” and discover some incredible brand new stretches.
Slow Down
Savasana is essential in all yoga styles, including a slow, passive one like Yin. And as this is such a relaxing practice, you’ll get an extra juicy ending. In this section, Illona shares the different ways you can end your yin practice, besides the traditional Corpse Pose.
