This is a complete full body yin yoga practice. The longer holds in yin yoga (3-5 minutes) provide an opportunity for a slow moving meditation. An opportunity for you to journey inward. You will soften & quiet your body and your mind, bringing full awareness into the present moment, while we deepen your connection to your body. Doing this can be very difficult in most yoga routines that flow quickly from one pose to the next. This is exactly why I love yin yoga. So as you practice, try to mindfully observe your body and emotions without judgement, accept your body & fully embody your emotions exactly as they are. This will be a slow, gentle practice of opening and releasing, without striving, without pushing your body, without any true effort... except to accept yourself as you are. Have all your props handy so you can support & soften your body into each pose the best you can. Yoga bolsters (or pillows), yoga blocks (or a stack of hard books), and a blanket. If there was ever a day to truly set a gentle loving environment for yourself, this is it!
