I am used to very active workouts but I have been reading about the benefits of yin yoga for deep tissue recovery. It seems like the long holds are supposed to target the fascia and the joints rather than just the muscles. I am wondering if it is a good supplement for someone who does a lot of heavy lifting and high impact cardio.

I tried a class yesterday and I found it incredibly difficult to stay still in those positions for five minutes. I definitely felt a deep release in my hips and lower back afterwards though. I am in the UK and I am looking for a way to improve my long term mobility and joint health.

What do you think of Yin Yoga as a recovery tool? Is it something that should be done regularly or just once in a while? I am curious if you noticed a big change in your flexibility since starting it. I would love to hear your advice on how to get the most out of those long holds.
