About the author

Stefanie Arend undertook various types of training in different fields of yoga, until after years
of trying them out, she finally found what she had been seeking for such a long time in the
Yin Yoga teacher training run by Paul and Suzee Grilley. This approach to yoga gave her a
sense of deep inner peace and a feeling of having arrived. She still continues to train further,
and besides her own yoga and meditation practice, it is her personal experiences of teaching
and the everyday encounters in her life that have helped her to learn a lot more than what is usually being taught in teacher trainings. She had her own yoga studio for many years, where she gave thousands of yoga classes that enabled her to gather a wealth of teaching experience. She has been training those interested in Yin Yoga for many years, which gives her a feeling of deep fulfillment.

As a nutritional coach, she works in a holistic way and thus integrates a variety of approaches into her consultations, depending on precisely what the individual needs. She gave up her yoga studio in 2015 due to a move, and has since been focusing even more on international Yin Yoga teacher trainings.

This is one of the best books on yin yoga I have seen. What I love about this book - the beautiful visuals - great photography of the poses, and Stephanie provides some unique variations I have not seen in other books. She also includes some yang poses, and healing meditations you can use in your teachings. My favorite part is the sequencing at the back of the book which addresses various conditions - allergies, neck pain, foot pain, etc. Each of these sections has questions for reflection, TCM perspective, dietary considerations, etc. It really is a complete manual for yin yoga. I plan to include this in my yin teacher trainings going forward. I think you will really love this book!

Yoga has been a way of life for many centuries, and the practice has evolved over time to encompass various styles and techniques. Yin Yoga is one such style, which focuses on holding poses for an extended period, often between 3-5 minutes or even longer, to target deeper connective tissues in the body. It is a slow and meditative practice, and its benefits are manifold, from improving flexibility and joint health to reducing stress and anxiety.

In her latest book, the author offers an insightful and comprehensive exploration of this unique style of yoga. What sets her book apart is her deep understanding of the practice, combined with her expertise in traditional Chinese medicine, which she skillfully weaves into her teachings.

The book is a rich resource for yoga teachers and practitioners alike, and it covers a wide range of topics, from Yin poses and sequences to meridian massages and meditations. Each chapter is meticulously structured, starting with an introduction to the topic, followed by detailed instructions on how to practice the various techniques. The book is also beautifully designed, with clear and concise instructions, and stunning photographs of the various Yin poses. The layout is intuitive, making it easy to navigate. Overall, this is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Yin Yoga.

I had heard the term Yin Yoga but never got a chance to explore it. And that's the reason I ordered this book. It's a brilliant and detailed book written on Yin Yoga.

Yin Yoga is a slow paced style of yoga as exercise, or the gentle way to free your body of everyday ailments and emotional stress. The book consists of lots of ideas, step by step instructions, picture illustrations to perform asanas which helps you to bring balance and harmony between your body and mind. The different forms of yin yoga mentioned in the book contributes to overcome your mental and physical issues and enlightenes your life with new energy and positivity.

I find the book so inspiring and motivating that i had even started practicing it. Right from asanas, accupressure, massage, detoxification to meditation, the book covers everything to keep you fit. Each yoga pose is demonstrated with step-by-step picture illustrations and the body part it targets. So, it becomes quite easy to understand and perform. The book is quite informative and detailed that it gives you the advantage of practicing it from home.

On the whole, the book is a well thought out and presented which serves as a remedy to the stress and hustle of everyday life.

Do read this book and incorporate yin yoga in your life style to lead a happy and content life.

There is no denying the fact that there are times when rather than resorting to heavy treatments and medicines, there are certain healing processes which we can rather adopt alternatively.

Hence, if we are looking for an elixir that will be of great benefit to not only helping us with our physical, but also mental health as well, yoga is something that has shown to have great effects.

Therefore, author Stefanie Arend, in her book, ‘Be Healthy With Yin Yoga’ has tried to show to readers how many complaints can be alleviated, that the body can be strengthened, and that a healing journey can be supported through yoga.

Alongwith this, we also see that this book does not focus only on generalizations, but there are also topics wherein focus is directed specifically at individual conditions.

Also, to help alleviate the readers of going elsewhere and finding about the various poses and asanas, there is a very detailed guide readily available in the book which will not only tell us the benefits of it, but also how we should practice the exercise, along with a photograph.

The book is useful in ways which we cannot even fathom, and hence, embracing what has been depicted is bound to leave a positive impact on the readers. So, I am going to give this FIVE STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Yin Yoga movement is something that can be seen to have gained a lot of momentum, especially in the recent years, and the most of it can be attributed to how it assists in grounding us and calming our nervous system, thereby overall being a ticket to a happier life.

There can be seen times when science often lags behind when it comes to the subject of energy, and of course there is no certain way via which we can say with surety that it will always prove everything.

Hence, ‘Be Healthy With Yin Yoga’ by Stefanie Arend can touted to be a great book wherein we see how the author has not only helped the readers provide an insight on Yin Yoga in theory, but also has enumerated about this in practice.

As with any yoga, the aim of Yin Yoga is to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony. Based on the teaching of the Tao, each person is characterized by Yin and Yang—two opposing forces, the relationship of which should also be harmonious.

I liked how at regular intervals, there are illustrations and pictures which will make us understand exactly what is being portrayed, rather than vaguely imagining a concept. Hence, I am going to give this FIVE STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It is a brilliant aide for those hoping to adopt an all encompassing strategy to their wellbeing and health. The book presents a novel point of view on yoga and the different medical advantages it can give, with an accentuation on the act of Yin yoga

Yin Yoga is a sluggish paced style of yoga as exercise, or the delicate method for liberating your collection of regular diseases and close to home pressure. The book comprises of bunches of thoughts, bit by bit guidelines, picture outlines to perform asanas which assists you with bringing equilibrium and congruity between your body and brain.

This book covers every one of the fundamental ideas in a simple language. Perusing it is very canny, as relatively few individuals are familiar Yin Yoga and the fundamental standards

I am in yoga teacher training and this book has been a great resource for me. Arend's book introduces the poses and their yin names which are different from the vinyasa names. She includes large color photos of the poses, easy to understand descriptions, and the effect the poses have on the body. She also has yin sequences for digestion, cellulite, the bladder, arthrosis, anxieties, headaches, neck pain, and many more! This is a book I will refer to again and again. Yin is my favorite style of yoga and this book made me love it even more!

[Rachel Eyre · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great yin yoga book. Not only does it have a more fleshed out section about the philosophy and background of yin as well as meridians than most books I have read about yin. It also has a section at the back with common ailments and what you can do to help which is an added bonus for a yin book. I love that all the poses have how to make them easier and more difficult, and the book is super clear and informative.

[Jean · Rating 5 out of 5]

informative, illustrative and interesting

Really good read, recently got into yin yoga and this book has an array of poses and adaptions that are intuitive but I wouldn’t have thought of myself. The authors knowledge of yoga and alternative medicine is comprehensive and she shows how the physical practice can alleviate emotional problems.

I have quite a few yoga books and was a yoga instructor for several years. This particular yoga book is an excellent resource to have in your library if you are serious about yoga and your health.

I am not too familiar with yoga so I’ve never heard of yin yoga before. I have been thinking about taking up more stretching exercise because I sit a lot. I like how the author has yoga sequences for different health problems.

[Eileen · Rating 5 out of 5]

To be transparent, I'm helping to publicize this book — but that said — I would not have engaged unless I thought it was a substantial contribution to the wide world of yoga. I love that Stefanie Arend brings in Traditional Chinese Medicine practices, and an Eastern/metaphysical perspective to book. She is a master teacher, bestselling German author and knows yoga. That she landed with Yin Yoga after years of other types, impressed me because as I get older, my body needs less stress and gentle, deep tissue/fascia release after all the life I've lived! I love the sequences for different ailments and all the pictures. I could never understand a book or article that didn't have a how to pic with it. There's a lot of info for people who are looking to integrate their body, mind and spirit! And yea, I love the book as a reader, and am proud to represent it! Highly recommend!
