Here's the link to info about Kim Eng's DVD. You can't do a search on this forum for "Kim" or "Eng" or "Yin" (yoga); I can only find it by typing in "Eckhart". Seems a bit odd having to type in an instructor's spouse's name to find her DVD.
http://forum.videofitness.com/showth...hlight=eckhart Kim's Yin Yoga and Angela Farmer's Inner Body Flow are the last two DVDs I obtained before deciding to take a break from getting anything for a while. They're both so good. I love yin yoga, and to date Kim's is my most used yin yoga DVD. |

Just adding a different perspective. I love yoga, long holds, and a more restorative focus, but I don't love yin yoga, at least the way it is taught, and explained, by Paul Grilley. I don't believe it makes sense to "stretch" the joints and I think long holds that result in an achey feeling at the joints are destabilizing and ultimately sort of dangerous.
I think you can modify yin yoga by making sure you're well propped (blocks, bolsters etc, you're not in any way twisting at the joints (i.e., your thigh and your calf should be facing the same way, not twisting at the knee), and you're not getting an achey feeling at the joint insertions. A stretch should happen at the belly of the muscle, not the joint. That's my perspective, anyway. Other than that, I love the mellow vibe.
