(Part 2) Interview with Bernie Clark: Deep Dive into Yin Yoga

In this episode of the Yin Yoga Podcast, I'm excited to welcome you back for part two of my interview with Bernie Clark.

We delve into a variety of topics, including the benefits and controversies surrounding Yin Yoga.

Bernie and I discuss the impact of heat in yoga practice, the effects of static stretching on performance, and the fascinating science behind Yin Yoga.

We also explore the unique post-Yin Yoga feeling specific to Yin practice.

And the use of breathing techniques to engage the parasympathetic nervous system.
