Aren't rest days supposed to be actual days of rest? That's the way I've always interpreted them. Sure, sometimes I do an easier than usual workout, but I don't count that as an actual rest day. Yin yoga may not seem like much, but it is working your body. In a different way, but it's work.

I find it so easy to overdo it that I think I sometimes underestimate my needs just to avoid getting myself into trouble. Wish it weren't so hard to figure out what to do (or not do, LOL!).

With only one occurrence it could be anything - you could be worn down, under the weather, didn't eat that well that day, coming down with a cold...
That said - I have ligament laxity and some hyper mobile joints and Yin Yoga is NOT GOOD for me. I have chronic instability in my ankles due to ligament laxity and some other joints I have to be careful with to avoid hyperextension. As a result, certain tasks requiring stabilization will make me disproportionately tired because my body doesn't work very well on those tasks, so I exhaust tiny stabilizing muscles. For example, if I need to stand on the bus it takes so much effort to keep upright that I'm sore and exhausted for hours afterward. Similarly, I definitely believe the whole story about Yin Yoga stretching connective tissue because my connective tissues are already too loose. When I do actual Yin Yoga, my body is weak afterward, because my already slightly dodgy joints are made even looser, requiring all of my muscles to work overtime to keep me upright. I have no idea what your situation is, but I don't think Yin Yoga is for everyone. |

I guess we just have to learn and experiment with our own bodies to see what we really need in terms of rest. No one article or whatever is gonna have the answer for everyone. i have chronic health issues and have to move daily- I can also take a nap whenever I want to. If I worked a full time job or had young-uns or even if my body was different, i would have completely different recovery needs. Just like people have different fitness abilties, I am sure they probably have different recovery requirements as well. (I a an ongoing personal experiment, lol) Good luck!
