\u2018Life is best when lived in balance\u2019, \u2018balance your body and mind to balance your life\u2019, \u2018balance is everything\u2019…sounds familiar? Whether it is work and play, rest and movement, diet or your outlook towards situations and events, staying balanced keeps you grounded, stable and content. It\u2019s no surprise then, that even in yoga, balancing the yin and yang in your practice goes a long way in keeping you motivated on and off the mat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Taoist tradition, this describes the two qualities or energies that are present in everything – our food, lifestyle, the changing seasons, our bodies and the world around us. Yin is feminine and is more passive, internal and calm while yang is masculine, dynamic, external and warm. Yin and yang exist together; just like the sun and moon, day and night. Yang forms of yoga include styles like Ashtanga, Vinyasa and Power yoga. They are dynamic and fast-paced. In contrast, yin yoga is a slow-paced, passive practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
