Yin Yoga | Stillness in the Breath
{Y}integration | Exploring Yoga Philosophy Through Yoga & Meditation • 1h 5m
In every breath, naturally and organically, there is space - stillness - quiet. At the end of each inhale and each exhale there is this sweet space - a place to just be. No doing, no demands, just stillness.
Between each pose, there is the opportunity, especially in Yin Yoga, to just be, feel, explore, allow. A space to linger. In this practice we explore those spaces to find more presence, stillness, and an understanding of the essence of being.
