(All Levels) The dragon series of the Yin Yoga practice is the most rigorous of the asanas. The variations on the dragon address the hips through the Yin equivalent of the crescent poses which feature prominently in Vinyasa yoga. While lunges are often a means of transition dragon asks us to contemplate the journey by remaining in this pose between five to eight minutes. Practitioners should ensure that they have any necessary props in particular a blanket for those with sensitive knees or two blankets if you have sensitive knees and ankles. The dragon is followed by some gentle twists in the deer pose which is excellent for stimulating the body’s internal cleansing system. The practice closes with a meditation inspired by the Sufi Poet Rumi.
