7 Yin Yoga Practice Principles...to nurture all of you.
☯ Arrive to the Mat...
Embrace the moment you arrive to your mat, leaving behind the day’s distractions. This is your time to connect with yourself.
☯ Move Mindfully to Mild Sensation...
Listen to your body and move slowly with intention. Ease toward gentle sensations that guide you deeper into your practice.
☯ Relax and Remain in Relative Stillness...
Find comfort in stillness. Allow your body to settle and your mind to quiet, creating space for inner awareness.
☯ Watch and Welcome What's Happening Inside You...
Be an observer of your inner world. Practice welcoming all sensations, thoughts, and emotions with curiosity and compassion.
☯ Transition like a Tortoise...
Move slowly and deliberately between poses. This mindful transition helps maintain the calm and focus you’ve cultivated.
☯ Rest Regularly to Recover and Reconnect...
Take breaks to rest and rejuvenate. Resting is essential for tissue recovery and reconnection to body, mind, and heart.
☯ Continue to Cultivate...
Keep nurturing your practice. Each moment, each session is an opportunity to grow and deepen your understanding of yourself.
These principles work together to awaken your insight and ensure your practice is safe, beneficial, and transformative. Guided by them, your time on the Yin mat becomes a beautiful space to explore the who, what, how, when, and why of your being.
When these principles inform your approach, each pose becomes an enlightening journey into yourself. Observing them, you bring strength, flexibility, and restoration to your physical body and nurture yourself as an energetic, emotional, and spiritual being.
