Insight Yoga by Sarah Powers link
To see Sarah Powers teach is to see compassion, heart and wisdom in action. This book captures some of her diverse offerings to the yoga community, including deep experiential knowledge of mindfulness meditation and practicing asana as meditation, using both Yin Yoga and yang styles. Her flows are smooth and effective and her pose descriptions often inspire a new perspective and give you more tools for your toolbox. – Shelly
Yin yoga activity is slow, steady, and often stationary, with a sense of core softness and surrender. Yang yoga activity is mobile, builds to an apex before calming down, and maintains a core strength that requires appropriate effort… The main difference between these different styles of engagement is a matter of degrees—a shift not so much in which poses we choose (for a yoga pose is not in and of itself Yin or Yang) but in how we practice, [which] determines whether we target the yin or yang tissues more directly or indirectly.
