Home Yin Yoga Practice

4/24/2020

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.
