Yin Yoga is an East meets West modern incarnation of informative in-body experience regarding deep fascial chains (connective tissue), infused with teachings from Chinese Traditional Medicine, Daoist principles, and Chakra theory, blended together with the simplistic peace of mindfulness meditation.
This 90 minute yin yoga practice will focus on balancing the mind-body for the Spring season. The physical postures, through their targeted channels will guide us into a deeper inquiry towards self realization according to our own personal rhythms. Yin yoga, a type of modern incarnation within classical Hatha practice, is slow and low to the ground. We linger in postures 3-5 minutes, committing to stillness and sensing the more elusive tissues of connectedness including fascia. We will explore the relevant meridian theory according to Traditional Chinese Medicine as it naturally encompasses the Liver/Gallbladder pair and Wood element relevant in Springtime.
