The meridians that we mainly work with are for the heart, lung and small intestines. I created the following yin yoga sequence to open your heart and shoulders. In the quiet of the yin yoga postures we can create a space for the body to feel safe.
By taking the time to sit down quietly and listen to our body, we can connect. Allowing ourselves to be in the posture just as we are is a way of acknowledging our body and its wisdom. Accepting ourselves as we are is the first step. We disconnect from society, from our family, from our body, and from our own heart. When events occur in our lives that are beyond normal human experience, we often see no choice but to disconnect. Yin yoga is a meditative practice of reconnection and surrender. As we grow older it shrinks, dries up and becomes tight, so we have to find ways to keep it juicy. Some people say that our nadis/meridians, the channels in which our energy flows through the body, are located inside this tissue. It is listening and remembering our every thought and experience. The connective tissue has its own intelligence and memory. It is the web that forms and connects all aspects of the human body. It is the tissue that holds the bones together, the muscles to the bones, and the internal organs in place. From a physical point of view there are aspects of the body that are more yin – the connective tissue, and aspects that are more yang, –the muscles.Ĭonnective tissue takes on many different forms within the body.
Ideally we have both energies in our life: yin is the more feminine, receptive, lunar quality and yang refers to the more active, striving, masculine energy. I love yin yoga for the complimentary effects to the more yang lifestyle and yoga practices we do.
