Winter Solstice Yin Yoga | Honor The Pause

This winter solstice yin yoga sequence will leave you feeling nourished and relaxed both inside and out! 😉

Winter is a very dark, still and introspective time of year, and just like the seasons change so do we, so, if you are feeling more reflective and introverted this time of year, that's ok! We are at our peak Yin energy, meaning we are our most reflective and introverted selves. Sometimes we get caught up in the go, go, go so it is important to slow down, honor this shift and take it easy. #wintersolstice #yogaritual #yinyoga

In TCM, winter is associated with the kidney and bladder meridians. If you are "balanced" in these areas you will feel nourished vs feeling stiff and tired, which may be accompanied by achy bones and joints. For this practice, we focus on these meridian lines to open up any obstructions and allow energy to flow.

For todays sequence I am wearing a comfy sweater and sipping on some milky tea. I like to use oat milk and add in a bunch of powders for example cacao, cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, black pepper, cayenne and some ashwaganda (just a pinch)) oh and some honey! mmmmm 😋 (Feel free to skip to 2:38 to start the practice)

Grab everything you need to get cozy and meet me on the mat!

YOU WILL NEED: 1 BLOCK (tea and sweater are optional)

Grab your coffee, tea or coco water and meet me on the mat!

Be sure to let me know how it went for you in the comments!

What is Yin Yoga? Yin yoga is MAGIC. Well, that is how I would describe it. Yin yoga is a practice that that allows you to go beyond the superficial layers of the body and access the deeper layers. This means in a Yin Yoga practice you are going beyond the muscles and right into the deep connective tissues of the body. Our connective tissues are made up of fascia, ligaments and tendons which surround and form our joints. Therefore, when you practice Yin Yoga you are able to increase your range of motion, your flexibility and strengthen your joints. A win win! If you ask me. Yin yoga is more than stretching, we are “stressing” the connective tissues and we do this with longer holds and intuitive breathing.

When practicing always remember

1. Meet the pose at YOUR edge (gradually)
2. Find stillness and focus on your breath
3. Resolve to be still
