It’s based on finding stillness and holding poses for time while focusing on the breath. Sukhasana (Easy Seated Pose) Continue to watch the breath and fan the arms overhead as you inhale, release the arms by your sides as you exhale. After 3-5 rounds insert a small pause at the very top of the inhale. A fast-paced, “yang” yoga class can exacerbate a Vata imbalance because we’re already moving a mile a minute!

Meridians are considered channels where Qi or the basic life force of the body flows. This sequence also targets the Spleen and Stomach meridians in Chinese medicine. This yin yoga sequence for the late summer emphasizes poses that target the quadriceps and the front body. The late summer is when yang starts to turn towards yin. Some examples of themes include an area of the body, a specific action or movement, a contemplative practice, or a Chinese Medicine meridian. When sequencing a yin yoga practice you can plan a series of postures that relate to a specific theme.
