Home Yin Yoga Practice

I'm really enjoying so much good on-line yoga.  I used to have such a hard time doing a home practice; I always got distracted.  Now that I'm a mom I treasure my free time and try to make the most of time without my 8 month old and doing a nourishing Yin Yoga practice for 20-50 minutes is heaven.  What I love about Yin is I can pick a practice to release different held emotions as well as I can let my thoughts wander until they slow and slow into this lovely spacious place.  

 Yin Yoga focuses on clearing meridians, energy lines, in the body.  You hold a stretching posture for 1-5 minutes and by the end you feel a shift in your body-mind.  Instead of stretching the muscles we are stretching the fascia which is like saran wrap that wraps the muscles and organs and is theorized to hold energy and emotions.  

​

This morning I did the liver meridian which helps clear toxins and unprocessed anger.
