Practice Tips

The Three tenets of Yin Yoga:

Edge. Come into each pose to your edge. Find that place where it hurts so good! If any short, sharp or pinching sensations arise, gently back out of the pose.

Breath. Come into a slow, mindful and ﬂowing breath. Let the inhales and exhales guided you deep into the body and mind. Feel how the breath helps you ﬁnd space within.

Stay. In this practice we cultivate our ability to be more present, still, open, and allowing. We also cultivate the resilience and becoming more responsive than reactive to what life presents. In this Yin session, we hold our bodies anywhere from 3-7 minutes per pose. The body’s connective tissue, known as the fascia, responds well to long holds to really long-held tensions. Our task here is to watch the discomfort, the restlessness, the frustration, or whatever arises, and breathe into that sensation, allowing it to be there without any need to edit, judge or change.
