Yin Yoga for the Spring!

By Jamie Monte on Mar 23, 2022

Yin Beginner

Spring is a time to thrive. Yoga can help us be fully present and engaged as we shift seasons and are open to new perspectives. How we move, how we breathe, and what we eat can help us embrace this transitional time of year. This practice is about lightening up and clearing out. The liver and gallbladder are the organs that support the cleansing process. Lemon essential oil is a cleansing oil. Peak poses - Bananasana, figure 4.

Props in Yin Yoga

By Jamie Monte on Jan 30, 2022

Yin Beginner

In the yin practice, we want to feel something - not too much and not too little. Comfortably uncomfortable in most poses. We are looking to create healthy stress on the deep tissues in the body -the yin tissues. They respond and become more resilient with this type of training rather than with movement which is what our muscles or yang tissues need. Props can help us relax and tell our nervous system we are safe. Bolster, blankets, blocks, strap, chair, wall. Get creative with your props at home - use a tie from your robe as a strap, stiff couch cushion, or pillow as a bolster. Use books for blocks!

Morning Yin Yoga

By Jamie Monte on Jan 13, 2022

Yin Beginner

This morning practice will help you get up on the best side of the bed. On a physical level, yin yoga is most effective when our muscles are cold so we can reach the deeper layers of the body. Coupled with mindfulness, and guided Nadi Shodhana or alternate nostril breathing, this is a great way to start your day and set yourself up for more ease in your physical body and clarity in your mind.

Intro to Yin Yoga

By Jamie Monte on Jan 1, 2022

Yin Beginner

Yin yoga offers the opportunity to find a profound release of tension in the deeper lying tissues in the body and can significantly increase your range of motion. In this class, Jamie introduces you to the 3 principles, the tattvas, and some of the beauty and benefits of the yin practice. As you practice please remain passive, relaxed, take your time. Before you begin, create a calming environment whatever that means for you. Perhaps you want to light a candle? You will need a blanket and a bolster (a couch pillow will work as long as it's firm). Your body and your nervous system will thank you for slowing down and opening deeply. Enjoy, yogis!
