The Language of Yin: Yoga Themes, Sequences and Inspiration to Bring Your Class to Life and Life to Your Class

Absolutely love this book! I turn to it time and time again as a Yoga Teacher. So much inspiration for creating sequences for my classes. And it is not limited to Yin, the elements of this book can be used to be the starting point of many types of classes for yogis. It was thoughtfully and thoroughly written!

Such a lovely book and so useful for a yin yoga teacher like myself. Recommend.

This is a very inspiring book on yin yoga to practice yourself or to design classes. I don’t like the material the used for the cover. If you want to use it often it’s better to put a protection around it.

As a yoga instructor, I own and have read well over fifty books pertaining to yoga. I like most of them and LOVE a few. I teach various forms of yoga but once I found Yin yoga through study with Joe Barnett, it turned into my favorite form of yoga to practice and to teach. My favorite yoga book ever has been Bernie Clark's Complete Guide to Yin Yoga... and then I ordered Gabrielle's book The Language of Yin and found my 'a-la-mode' to Bernie's book. This book (as you can tell in my photo) has become a well loved friend in a short amount of time. Gabrielle offers sequences, themes, quotes, poems and more and her beautiful energy is woven throughout the book. She knows Yin yoga like a mother knows her child. What Gabrielle offers in her book is priceless. This book has re-awoken my love affair with practicing and teaching Yin yoga. Thank you Gabrielle!

My 200 hr teacher training was in Vinyasa, and I've been looking for a book to re-inspire my home Yin practice. This book was an absolute delight, with fresh, creative Yin sequences and beautiful themes! I LOVED the sequences for seasons/traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, and chakras - they felt imaginative and fun, different than cookie-cutter Yin routines. I also enjoyed the side body stretches, which feel like such a relief since we do so much movement forwards/backwards. Lastly, the sequences are easy to follow with cute little illustrations -- which are great so you don't have to read text as you are actually trying to do the sequence in real time. In love with this gem of a book <3

I love the book, but I am missing page 91. Mine book goes from page 90 to 192 to 92. What is on page 91??

I've been teaching yoga for about 20 years, and Yin for about 13. I'm also a 200 and 300 YTT instructor with my own yoga school. I'm a Bernie Clark fan and have never bothered to look further. I bought this book on a whim and I'm enjoying it very much. I will still use Bernie's book for trainings, but I'll definitely fold this in with an eye toward theming a class. I also love the meditations she includes and various other tidbits. For example, for svadhyaya, she recommended reading a Rumi poem, which I had on my shelf (the poem was not included in the book), read to my class, and it was a lovely integration.

I am a yoga instructor, and I purchased this book for inspiration. It’s a great book that is well written and informative.

het item is nooit aangekomen hoewel het volgens de tracking site wel onderweg was en op 2/6 dichtbij mij thuis in de buurt moest zijn. Ik moest zelf met amazon contact opnemen om te vragen waar mijn boek bleef, geen info ivm waar het was maar wel geld terug gestort. UIteraard had ik liever dit boek ontvangen maar toch correcte afwikkeling non delivery van kant Amazon.

I’m not a teacher and my yoga practice is primarily self taught, but this book interested me so I thought I’d take the chance and I’m so glad I did. I fell in love with Hatha Yoga many years ago, but Yin Yoga brought me back to the mat and a daily practice. This book adds a new dimension to my practice by deepening my understanding of the philosophy as well as ideas for sequences which unite mind and body. A great book on Yin as a physical practice as well as a spiritual journey for seekers like me. I haven’t finished the book. I’m reading this book slowly so I can savour the poetry, the philosophy, and the message woven into the movement of Yin. If you want to maintain a home practice between classes, enrich your experience of your Yin practice, build a solid Yin practice at home if there are no classes or you’re on a budget then this book covers everything inner and outer. For my Yin practice I’ve found that the Language of Yin by Gabrielle Harris, Yin Yoga by Kassandra Reinhardt and Yin Yoga by Diane Paylor to be the at home library that maintains a Yin Yoga practice that is healthy for mind and body.

Lo uso tantissimo per le mie lezioni di Yin, fatto molto bene, consiglio!

me ha funcionado para guiarme en como crear una clase de yin desde cero y como guiar dependiendo de la intención. definitivamente es un libro que recomiendo mucho a alguien que quiera adentrarse en el mundo del yin o para complementar una certificación de yin.

As a yoga teacher and a person who has read so many books this is a definite must read for any teacher. We all need help When it comes to sharing idea in classes and this has helped me so much as a yoga teacher. You definitely should have this book and you definitely won't regret it @under_the_elements_yoga
