Each posture is held for a long time (3 to 7 minutes) and is a meditation in itself. It brings many benefits on a physical, energetic and psychological level. It creates space in the body and is a perfect antidote to stress.
There are three tattvas, or rules, Tattva (devanāgarī:तत्त्व) means ‘truth’, ‘reality’, or ‘essence, essential principle’ in Sanskrit. In Hinduism, it is one of the founding principles of reality. It forms the whole of the visible and non-visible worlds.
These three fundamentals of Yin Yoga are:
• Respecting one’s limits, once the limit has been found,
• Remaining motionless, let the body open up
• Staying in the posture for a long time. The vast majority of the postures are done on the floor.
