Yin Practice Lab #1: Embodied Listening

Attune. Settle. Reconnect.

“Yoga begins with listening. When we listen, we give space to all that is.”
— Richard Freeman

We live in an age of interruption—fragmented attention, endless urgency, and constant pulls away from ourselves. It’s no surprise that so many of us feel scattered, dysregulated, and frankly… exhausted.

This is the first Yin Yoga practice I’m sharing here at From Scratch. It’s an invitation to slow down and listen—not just to your body, but from it.

This practice gently works with:
✔️ Flexions of the spine
✔️ Openings of the hips
✔️ Twists to balance the channels of energy
✔️ Vagal nerve resets to calm the nervous system

The result? You may experience:

  • A sense of wholeness, where you feel more yourself, not less.

  • Softened, attuned, and quietly steady.

  • This practice isn’t just about relief. It’s about remembering how to move in time with yourself.


🎧 How to Use This Practice:

  • Put your phone on airplane mode.

  • Dim the lights.

  • Let yourself drop into 60 minutes of unscripted time, where you don’t have to fix anything.

  • Just listen. Not with your ears. But from your body.
