#99 Come Home to Yourself, Yin Yoga Guided Practice
As a practice of being, Yin Yoga creates a unique container for exploring the restless impulses to fix while encouraging us to relax into self-acceptance.
In this short practice, Jen shares three postures that target the Earth element as a way of amplifying stabilizing yin energies while directing attention to the Hara - the belly center - as a way to deepen into your home ground.
Postures in this practice:
- Reclining Butterfly
- Reclining Twist
- Supported Pontoon (bridge with extended legs)
Props:
- One block (or similar object) - necessary
- Additional block or two small cushions - optional
- journal - optional
The practice follows a brief introduction at 2:10. If your podcast player supports chapter markers, you can skip ahead.
Skillful Means Podcast offers these guided practices to help you deepen into your yoga and mindfulness journey.
