This practice, based off yogic approaches called yin, is a static stretch-based practice that appropriately places your body in positions that challenge your tension points.
The primary tissue responsible for those tension points is called fascia, and it is an organ-like system that houses a dense volume of nerve endings, or receptors, that communicate to the brain. Suboptimal fascial health may contribute to things like chronic pain, impaired healing, digestive concerns, sleep quality, performance, and more.
This static practice is intended to address your fascia’s health, even if you’re an active person. In fact, the more active or fast-paced your lifestyle is, the more I may recommend it for you. See more yin applications:
