Our 40 minute Yin Yoga practice today is focused on the element of earth - often associated with late summer, slowing down, savoring the days, grounding. It is also associated with the Spleen/Stomach meridians - helping us digest better and prepare for the fall/winter seasons ahead. Slow down, breath, savor the stillness of this glorious time!
