Join me at 7,500 feet elevation for today’s 25 minute Yin Fascia Release video, which was filmed in the Sierra Nevada high country - next to these alpine hot springs!
This practice will melt tension from the connective tissues throughout your whole body - from shoulders and spine down to hips and legs.
Yin Fascia Release
I'm wondering if you'd ever do a short class/course on basic yin yoga. Though I practice it now and have in the past (mostly called restorative yoga - is it the same?), what are the basic tenets behind it? What exactly is "facia" (without me Googling it!) and why is it important to stretch. Where exactly is my sacrum? Maybe you can recommend a resource too. I am probably not the only one wanting to dig deeper into this wonderful practice!
What’s one thing that made you smile today?
A moment, a thought or a memory… anything goes.
I turn my head a moment
A second glance to take
Upon a life provided
The choices I did make
The pain and all struggles
The lessons in their wake
The milestones of my wisdom
The collection of mistakes
We each have those life-changers
That somehow stop our world
And in our misdirections
They help to find its pearls
Of all the endless searching
They’ve showed us who we are
The secrets now so simple
Found we alone did guard

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. ☀️🌙
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?
