I was listening to an overview of the history, theory and practice of Tantra. I was sitting cross legged and was performing various Yin moves for neck, shoulders and breath. When the chapter ended a total body energetic rush moved up my torso. That is when the warmth surrounded my spine. It then encompassed my shoulder, neck and upper back. There was an ease in my scapula. It was as thought it was targeting my old injury for healing.

When you step onto your mat today, what’s one thing you’re hoping to release – physically or mentally?
For me, it’s the feeling that I need to keep proving myself. I’m practicing letting that go, and choosing instead to honor my wholeness – just as I am.

Hello,
I discovered Yin in recent months after looking into yoga classes in my local area. I have been to a handful of classes and really value the practice for myosfaskial release. I want to begin at home and this app looks fantastic and great value for money. Could someone advise me on the best starting point, please?

What's something you find easier now than you did when you were younger?
For me, it's saying no.

In one word, how do you feel after a yin practice?
Soft. That’s the word that often comes up for me after yin. Softer body, softer mind. What word comes to mind for you?

Do you practice in the morning, evening, or whenever you can?
Lately I’ve found evening practices work really well for me. It helps release tension that might otherwise keep me awake. I used to be a morning person for yoga, but now my rhythm has shifted. ☀️🌙

Today I am releasing control of need to be better, and surrender to the simple reality of what is. Surrender to the flow of gratitude for my daily practice and all that it has brought to the quality of my life. One day at a time

What are you reading right now – or what's a book that’s stayed with you?
I’m reading See No Stranger by Valarie Kaur – a memoir and manifesto of Revolutionary Love. She writes about her work as a civil rights lawyer, a Sikh, and a woman of color in post-9/11 America, offering Love as a force for justice, grief, and even rage. It’s a path I welcome in a world that can feel so divided.
Would love to hear what you’re reading – or a book that’s inspired you.
