Happy Holidays Yogis! I'm happy to introduce a new Yin Yoga series on my channel where we will focus on the meridians :) The meridians come from traditional chinese medicine and are thought to conduct energy throughout the body, similar to how chakras allow the flow of energy through the body. In Yin Yoga, the meridians help to move "qi" (chi) into our organs and connective tissues.

Today we will focus on the kidney meridian which supports healthy kidney function and the asanas will focus on the hips (inner thighs and groin) as well as the spine through backbends and forward folds. This is a lovely practice to do when you've been celebrating a little bit too much ;) Two blocks will be used for this class!

What is Yin Yoga? Yin yoga is often called the Yoga of the joints because unlike other styles of yoga, the emphasis is not on the muscles but on the deep connective tissue. Connective tissue is made up of fascia, ligaments and tendons which surround and form your joints. Yin yoga improves the range of motion in your joints and also strengthens them. The results and benefits are more flexibility and greater range of motion and also more stability within your joints. Although your muscles will also be stretched, that is not the focus of the practice. It is best to practice yin yoga while your muscles are cold and NOT warmed up, even if that sounds counter intuitive. The reason we do this is so that we can send the "stress" and the "Stretch" to the connective tissues. If the muscles are warm they will steal the focus away from the joints.

There are 3 principles of Yin Yoga.
1. Find your edge
2. Be still
3. Hold the pose

Use as many props as needed in Yin Yoga! Blocks, bolsters and straps are all great ways to support your body to make sure you are respecting your edge and not going too far.
