S 6 | Ep.10 - In this episode, I dive into the question: Is Yin Yoga truly accessible? I share my honest thoughts on the challenges teachers face when trying to make Yin Yoga inclusive for everyone, regardless of body type, injuries, or experience.
I talk about why accessibility matters to me, how I use props and creative solutions in my classes, and why language and mindset are so important for making students feel welcome.
I also share some personal stories and resources for teachers who want to keep learning. Whether you’re a teacher or a student, I hope you’ll find practical tips and inspiration to make your Yin Yoga practice and classes accessible. 0:00 — Introduction: Why accessibility in Yin Yoga matters to me 7:48 — How I use props and creative solutions in my classes 22:15 — Teaching the most accessible version first 41:17 — My key takeaways and closing thoughts

Season 9 | Ep. 4 In this episode, I'm talking about what it really means to "drop Yin-side" moving past the physical stretch into an actual inner journey. We cover why Yin is mentally and emotionally harder than most people expect, the 7-layer awareness approach I use at the start of every class, how to guide students from distracted to present, what to do as a teacher while your students are holding shapes, and some quotes you're welcome to borrow for your own classes. Whether you're a practitioner wanting a richer personal practice or a teacher wanting to guide attention (not just anatomy), there's something here for you.
