• The Essence of Yin:

  • Understand the philosophy and principles behind Yin Yoga, including its roots in Taoist philosophy and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

  • Learn modifications and the use of props (blocks, bolsters, blankets) to support individual needs and ensure a safe and comfortable practice.
  • Discover the physical and energetic benefits of each pose, including increased flexibility, improved joint mobility, and enhanced energy flow.

• The Role of Breath and Mindfulness:

  • Learn how to use the breath as a tool for cultivating stillness, deepening awareness, and navigating sensations in Yin poses.
