So… unfortunately, none of the movements in Yin actually achieve the conditions that are required to build strength. BUT! Yin can be an amazing complement to strength training. Active restoration and rest are as essential to building muscle, endurance and stamina as weight training and cardio.

This is an important practice for all of my fellow sisters and brothers in perfectionisim. If you are someone sho never feels like they can take a break, who only looks at accomplishments and sees what they didn’t do right, who has critical self talk, I hope that you sill spend an hour with me here.
This is a very gentle practice focused on the side bodies. I wanted to work with a part of the body that most of us don’t experience too many problems with so that we could really just work with observing sensation. As you move through the poses, I will add another layer to practice. Our true goal is to practice self awareness or interoception.
