YinSights, a new book by Bernie Clark, has the answers. In YinSights, Clark explores the benefits of yoga, as viewed by both the Eastern and Western worlds and relates how it affects the body and mind. Although more and more students are embracing the Yin-side of yoga, Yin Yoga is still relatively unknown. Filling a void in yoga literature, YinSights serves as a practical guide for students interested in understanding Yin Yoga. YinSights is divided into two main sections. The first investigates the benefits of yoga on the physical body, the energetic body, and the mind/emotional body. Clark presents three points of view – those of the yogis in India, the Daoists in China, and the medical and scientific researchers of the West. The second section explores the practice of Yin Yoga in detail, and several flows are offered each with different themes. Slower versions of the normally active or yang Sun Salutations are provided, as well as even gentler ways to stimulate the flow of prana, chi, or energy. While YinSights illustrates how to practice Yin Yoga, it is not just for those seeking knowledge about Yin Yoga in particular. The book also discusses the advantages of all styles of yoga and will be of interest to every yoga student. “Bernie Clark's Yinsights is one of the best yoga resources now available, no matter what your preferred style of practice.” – Paul Grilley, author of Yin Yoga | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

A great book on Yoga Philosophy and MoreOct 13, 2007
By Linda
"yoga teacher"
I am a yoga teacher and am often asked of students what book would I suggest them to read on the subject of yoga. I Suggest Yin Sights, It offers students a easy to read scientific explanation of yoga and the different branches of yoga. It has brief explanations of mudras, yantra's, chankras, meridians, etc..I love the Idea of Yin and Yang in my yoga practice, in my life. This book is the perfect guide to help me on my spiritial path of yoga.

YinsightfulDec 16, 2007
By Jennifer B. Smith I have been teaching the yin style of yoga for about 4 years after doing workshops with Paul Grilley and Sarah Powers. This book is a gem. It not only explains the power of Yin Yoga, but also gives insights into the power of meditation and vinyasa flow yoga. I have recommended it to all of my students.

By Andrea Dyer
"Andrea Dyer,RYT"
I have studied Yin Yoga with Paul Grilley and Sarah Powers and have been teaching Yin Yoga practices for several years. Bernie's book does a great job of bringing together Paul and Sarah's teachings and providing additional information and context in a well formatted and easy to access package. I highly recommend this to all who teach or practice Yin Yoga. A great yoga reference tool that I use frequently. I highly recommend it for your yoga bookshelf.
