Movie Reviews of Jennifer Kries, Yin Yoga
Movie Review: A refreshing practice
Summary: 5 Stars
After studying different vigorous types of yoga and gaining stregth and balance from them, I was looking forward to something that would still challenge me, but offer more in depth time with each posture. As a recovering back injury prevents me from doing certain active postures in my classes, I find the Yin approach very helpful at opening up deep tissue and allowing my surrender to gravity to be very comforting and awakening. The teaching is clear and easy to follow. Sometimes the voice of a teacher on a instructional DVD can be distracting, but I don't find this one to be so. She doesn't waste time with unwelcome talk, but offers encouragement as well as valuable information to each posture and one feels as if they are in a clas setting that is structured without being cloying.
The idea of slowing a movement down to stillness for an extended period of time is almost alien to us in the West. Allowing the body to be supported in the posture while allowing the muscles and tissues to take time to really open and give way to gravity is something I think is quite needed in private and class settings.
Each posture is allowed to be held for a 10 breath cycle. This doesn't seem like much at first glance, but with the good cues on alignment given, this is very beneficial to the new student as well as the more expeirienced pratitioner. With practice, the posture can be held for longer periods of time and the bodies somatic memory becomes more at ease within the stillness and opening of the body.
It has hleped with my old injuries as well as new aches that crop up due to life and more active yoga practices. I use it as a tool to help me really reach subtle points within the postures offered, letting my breath create a large realm of awareness and self exploration.
I would definatly like to study more of this type of Yoga and offer it's benefits to my students.
