Hey yogis, thanks for tuning in! In today's video I wanted to address a question I've gotten hundreds of times over the past 5 years and I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to address it!

Is Yin Yoga the same as Restorative Yoga?

The answer is NO, they are not the same. HOWEVER, they have a lot of similarities!

Yin yoga comes from Taoism and Traditional Chinese Medicine whereas Restorative Yoga comes from Hatha Yoga. The intention of Yin Yoga is to clear energetic blockages and work on the connective tissues of the body. The intention of Restorative yoga is to soothe the parasympathetic nervous system and bring you back to an optimal level of wellbeing.

They are similar because they both use passive poses held for an extended period of time and there is often an overlap in the poses.

Like I mention at the end of this video, I would love to hear from you! I specialize in Yin Yoga but would love to hear especially from Restorative Yoga teachers. I hope this video clears things up for you :)
