We will explore the anatomy of the organs and muscle associations of the season, focusing on the yin postures of the season and their anatomy in detail, including the use of meridians, and pressure points. We then have a yin practice before lunch applying our learning. We will be exploring the adjustments necessary for each posture and also the mental and emotional influences which can be positively strengthened by mindfully moving the body, whilst at the same time enhancing the flow of energy to the organs.
We shall also be looking into the Taoist philosophy behind the practice. Each day will end with another yin practice, bringing together all ideas of the day. This is a great course to advance your seasonal learnings and we have allowed time between each of the days to in-bed the practice.

“Each day we all need to recharge our spiritual battery, otherwise, the light of our consciousness becomes dim, thoughts become fuzzy, and decisions are impregnated with doubt. Power is available inside and outside. Inside us, we have a spiritual centre, at the core of our consciousness. Take time to empower yourself and connect your mind to the source and allow yourself to recharge and renew.”
What is Yin Yoga?
Yin Yoga is a slow practice where poses are held for longer periods; from 2-10 minutes depending on the pose and the student’s experience. Yin Yoga tends to mostly target the lower back and hips using passive floor poses. It is a meditative practice where the focus is on one pose at a time held for longer, and more importantly without constant flow and movement (like Yang yoga practices e.g. Vinyasa). The mind and body are able to soften, relax and release deeply held stress and tension in the body. Seasonal Yin Yoga uses asana poses to target specific muscles, organs and meridians (energy lines) to restore psychosomatic harmony and balance with our emotions and mental health.
Why Practise Yin Yoga?
The purpose of Yin Yoga is to increase flexibility, energy flow, and blood and oxygen circulation by targeting and lengthening the connective tissue (which surrounds the tendons, fascia and ligaments). As practised in Seasonal Yoga, Tai Chi and Qi Gong, yin and yang exist for a harmonious balance: masculine and feminine energies, hot and cold, summer and winter, day and night etc.
Yin Yoga is the softer, meditative, internal practice to the high powered, active Yang Yoga practice (e.g. Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga). It is important to combine both yin and yang in our life, and understand when and how to use yin and yang yoga poses and practices to retain balance and conserve energy in the body.
