YIN YOGA FUNDAMENTALS

• Understanding the 5 stages to the Yin yoga practice

In Yin yoga we can use many variations/props within the chosen shapes that allow us to relax within the target area. Within this stillness, we can then become receptive & reflective to what’s happening within & around the body. We can become more aware of our own body’s innate wisdom & intelligence, & learn to ‘just’ listen. Learning to really ‘hear’ the ‘Self’ sounds easy, but Yin yoga can be challenging, in many ways & for different reasons. But, also such a very rewarding practice.

• The Bitter and sweet stages to the Yin yoga practice

A misconception is to think Yin yoga is easy. That seems to stem from a notion that Yin Yoga is a form of restorative yoga. Although on the yoga styles scale it would certainly come closest to Restorative yoga, there are some essential differences to the practice.

Yin yoga is a “Bitter-Sweet” practice that is both meditative & nourishing, yet brings it’s own physical & mental challenges. There are four fundamental bitter sweet stages we can experience during this beautiful style.

• What the rebound is and why we include it.

Ever wondered why we include a rebound within the Yin yoga practice?. There are many physical, mental and energetic benefits as to why we include it within the practice, and also many ways we can creatively include it within our Yin sequencing.

YIN YOGA PHYSICAL PRACTICE

We will then explore all these fundamentals within the 3 physical 60 minute practices for the hips/lower body, shoulders/upper body and a full body practice. Totaling 3 hours of physical practice for you to enjoy.

This practice will not only increase flexibility & joint health in the Hips, Inner Thighs & Shoulders, but also release excess emotion & negativity we can store inside both body & mind particularly emotions associated with anger & sadness whilst stimulating into the Lungs & Liver meridians.

Why these two meridians?

It is quite normal to feel a number of emotions at the same time. Anger & sadness have a tendency of co-existing & can feed into each other. The liver meridian assures the flow of chi & blood. It has an internal branch that comes from the liver organ that connects with the lungs. It is the lungs job to regulate our chi throughout the body. The energy from the lungs forms a direct bridge between body & mind.

By the end of this course you will have a grasped a wider understanding of the fundamental theory of Yin yoga and how to practice effectively to evoke wellness and balance in both body and mind.
