Svadhyaya (Self Study) Yin Yoga

Svadhyaya is a Sanskrit term meaning study of one’s self. I believe that intimately understanding our selves, our tendencies, our minds, emotions, bodies, and siritual selves is one of the most important and widely impactful spiritual practices we can do.

About Yin Yoga:

Originating from the Taoist philosophy, yin yoga’s lineage weaves traditional Chinese mind and body energetics with an anatomical awareness that centers healthy alignment for each individual. The concept of yin and yang describes an ancient understanding of two primordial energies that make up a balanced whole; Moon and sun, rest and action.

In this class, you can expect a meditative practice that focuses on stillness, silent presence, breath, and connection to both your inner world, and the outer, natural world. Long held floor based postures using the support of yoga props will be practiced to calm the nervous system, release tension held within the body, and maintain healthy and lubricated connective tissues. With each posture we strive to find an appropriate edge of sensation that we can sustainably hold for the duration of the pose.
