Heart Chi
Yin with Sian
30 min · sleep - joy - taoist
Yin Yoga draws upon the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, so the language around this style of yoga often works with Qi (chi), meridian lines (energy lines) and organs. In this series of practices we focus on the organs and their related energy lines and use the practice to create balance and healing through massage, healing sounds and postures.
The heart organ is the centre of our being from which our spirit radiates. Our emotions and our thoughts are connected, so when our hearts and emotions are out of balance it can affect our thoughts, our short term memory, can create insomnia or disturb or sleep. When the heart is balanced there is a gentle radiant joy to our spirit.
