S. 4| Ep. 7 Exploring Upper Body Poses in Yin Yoga In this solo episode of the Yin Yoga Podcast, I discuss the nuances of incorporating upper body poses in Yin Yoga, address common misconceptions, and offer practical guidance. I share my journey of expanding Yin practice to include the upper body, driven by my experience and student feedback.

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.
