Yin Yoga is one pathway to deepen the connection with breath, mind body and beyond, supporting practitioners in striking a balance with the busyness of daily life. Through longer, supported holds, the practice of Yin invites you to slow down and turn your awareness more inward. This meditative, grounding practice will focus on long holds in floor-based postures, that target deep connective tissues and activate the liver and gallbladder meridians in the body. Yin yoga is designed to increase flexibility and joint strength, while simultaneously soothing the nervous system, unwinding tension and building vitality.
In Yin’s five-element theory, Spring is the time of the wood element, the liver and gallbladder, and the nourishing power of Nature. Springtime energy signifies possibility, renewal, greater creativity and action. When the wood element is balanced, we feel peaceful, confident and motivated. When these subtle energies become blocked or stagnant in our body or mind, we can feel “stuck” or disoriented, and experience tension, fatigue and frustration. This special Springtime practice will thus focus on these themes and body organs, in attempt to build a personal connection with what’s happening for us internally with the outside world.
