In this principle, we learn to find peace in our bodies as we play with our edges. Much of the benefit of the practice will come from staying in this zone of discomfort, despite the mind’s urgent plea to leave, and from learning to find peace within ourselves.

In this principle we explore how having a focused intention can allow us to go deeper into our yin poses, focus our mind and minimize distraction. As we become still in the postures the mind can wander- our intention can provide a space of focus to keep us connected to our practice.

We focus in this principle our attention on the space between the yin postures - our rebounds. We not only need these moments to rest the deep tissues of the body, but to give ourselves the time and attention to experience how the yin postures have made us feel - physically, emotionally and energetically.

In this principle, we learn the difference between Yin and Yang energy and that there are yin postures which contain both.

You will also experience full release and softening with postures that embody complete Yin energy.

Explore the ancient meridian system through postures in the 'Meridian and The Subtle Body' principle. If you want to delve deeper, consider the program 'Medicinal Yin for Spirit'. In Yin yoga, we explore the subtle body based on Taoism and Traditional Chinese Medicine, highlighting how the energy system affects our physical well-being. Chi, the fundamental life energy, is at the core of this practice, and the meridians serve as pathways to influence it’s flow and growth within ourselves.
