Dropping YinSide: Beyond Stretching

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.
