In this week’s Yin Yoga practice, we explore breath as a subtle structure—a rhythm that balances effort and ease. At times, we deliberately extend the breath (Yang). At other times, we let it be (Yin). We notice the intuitive intelligence that emerges from this dance.
In practice and teaching, I’ve been exploring how breath can offer more than calm—it can offer structure. Not through control, but through a rhythmic alternation between effort and ease. In this week’s 60-minute Yin Yoga practice, we continue that exploration by working with the breath as both a guide and a mirror: at times gently shaped (Yang), at times completely free (Yin).
This approach is less about technique and more about intuitive intimacy. We notice the difference between shaping experience and when we’re letting experience shape us.
Postures like Supine Butterfly, Sphinx, Dragon, and Sea Grass become quiet containers for this inner dialogue—body and breath attuning, moment by moment, toward balance.
Many have expressed how these simple practices help to calm their nervous systems, soothe their souls and help them re-center in a world that feels very off-center. I can relate.
