In Zenko Yoga Noosa’s words
Yin Sound has been created due to the growing popularity of sound healings. Yin is a gentle floor based practice that targets the connective tissue, such as the ligaments, bones and joints rather than the muscles which we actively engage in most other styles of yoga. In this practice we consciously soften and relax the muscles, holding the postures for up to 5 minutes, this helps to stretch into the connective tissue and release blockages in the body. Its a great practice to help balance out the more dynamic styles of yoga and a really active/busy lifestyle. Sound healing has been used in various cultures for thousands of years with the same intention: to move us from a place of imbalance and dis-ease to a place of balance and healing. More recently, research has linked music to a number of health benefits, from boosting immune function and lowering stress, to helping relieve depression, insomnia and pain. In short, sound healing is a practice that uses vibrations (Instrumental gongs/Tibetan singing bowls) in order to relax the mind and body. The harmonic vibrations from the instruments have a deep penetrating effect that promotes healing and well-being on many levels. Classes are safe and suitable for anyone and simply require you to lay back, relax and enjoy.
