Yin Yoga & Guided Meditation**

It is a more meditative approach with a physical focus much deeper than Yang like practices. Here the practitioner is trying to access the deeper tissues such as the connective tissue and fascia and many of the postures focus on areas that encompass a joint (hips, sacrum, spine). As one ages flexibility in the joints decreases and Yin yoga is a wonderful way to maintain that flexibility, something that for many don’t seem to be too concerned about until they notice it is gone. 

 

Yin yoga teaches you how to really listen, you don’t get the opportunity to go in and out, jump around and find a distracted version of stillness within your practice. Yin is such a great compliment to other styles and your own personal life, because it brings long periods of time in an uncomfortable position, which then asks you to learn to “be” to “accept what is” in that given moment. Something we can all benefit from daily. 

 

Yin that will tap into a part of you in a way only unique to Yin. A healthy Yin practice has poured over into a healthier Yang practice and a healthier life as a whole. And I wish that for everyone."

 

Meditation is a core practice of yoga. The yoga asana was only developed as a way to wear out the body in preparation for sitting for long periods of time to meditate.  A calm mind does not react to circumstances or sensations around it but responds with compassion and non judgement.  Meditation helps us to meet life experiences head on and calmly ride the waves.
