Yin, done first, utilizes long held, passive floor postures to decongest connective tissue and fascia around the lower back, pelvis, hips and knees. This style keeps the body supple at its core while encouraging stagnant Ch’i or prana to flow through the meridian system, enhancing the health of the joints and organs while keeping the body in balance.
Yang, done second, serves to balance the cooling energy of yin, with a more ac¬tive flow to unify breath and movement. The stillness cultivated in the beginning of class inspires the movement likened to a moving meditation. When executed skillfully, these disciplines allow our body and mind to find a harmonious balance while mindful attention trains us to identify and release patterns of resistance, thereby promoting a deeper insight into our true nature. We will close the practice with savasana, deep relaxation, to integrate all aspects of the practice within. Level 1-2+ |
