Review
"Bernie Clark's Yinsights is one of the best yoga resources now available, no matter what your preferred style of practice." -- Paul Grilley, author of Yin Yoga
"A quick glance at the chapter headings gives a clue of the breath of what's offered: Prana, Bio-Electronics, Chakras, Cognitive Therapy, Meridians, Bones and Cartilage ... there is something interesting here for just about everyone..." -- Sarah Powers, author of Insight Yoga
"Yin Yoga is a practice much needed in today's difficult, divisive times. It offers us a way to leave behind our ideas of how we should be, and return to our true selves, where all lasting healing takes place. Bernie Clark has written a wonderfully detailed account of the history, philosophy, and practice of Yin Yoga. YinSights is written with compassion and deep understanding, and I recommend it not only for those interested in Yin Yoga, but for all yoga practitioners." -- Biff Mithoefer - author of The Yin Yoga Kit
"YinSights is a comprehensive guidebook for both curious students and dedicated teachers of Yin Yoga. Bernie is thoughtful and thorough as he arranges the immense body of knowledge, which influences the practice of Yin Yoga. He manages to weave threads of historical foundation, theoretical elucidation and practical application into a tapestry rich in spiritual tradition. This work could only come into being authentically through the efforts of a passionate spirit who has dedicated his life to the journey and has experienced some harmony along the way - thank you Bernie. I hope this lovely book finds its way into the hands, heads, hearts and bodies of many people... that they may experience a glimpse of what we know to be true and real." -- Marla Erickson - creator of Yoga Inspired Functional Fitness
"YinSights is an intelligently written, extensively researched, and comprehensive study of the system of Yin Yoga that Paul Grilley and Sarah Powers teach." -- Paulie Zink - Daoist Yoga master

Product Description
Why practice yoga or Yin Yoga in particular? YinSights, a new book by Bernie Clark, has the answers. In YinSights, Clark explores the benefits of yoga, as viewed by both the Eastern and Western worlds and relates how it affects the body and mind. Although more and more students are embracing the Yin-side of yoga, Yin Yoga is still relatively unknown. Filling a void in yoga literature, YinSights serves as a practical guide for students interested in understanding Yin Yoga. YinSights is divided into two main sections. The first investigates the benefits of yoga on the physical body, the energetic body, and the mind/emotional body. Clark presents three points of view – those of the yogis in India, the Daoists in China, and the medical and scientific researchers of the West. The second section explores the practice of Yin Yoga in detail, and several flows are offered each with different themes. Slower versions of the normally active or yang Sun Salutations are provided, as well as even gentler ways to stimulate the flow of prana, chi, or energy. While YinSights illustrates how to practice Yin Yoga, it is not just for those seeking knowledge about Yin Yoga in particular. The book also discusses the advantages of all styles of yoga and will be of interest to every yoga student. “Bernie Clark's Yinsights is one of the best yoga resources now available, no matter what your preferred style of practice.” – Paul Grilley, author of Yin Yoga
