It’s officially Halloween season at my house! Who else is ready for Halloween?? 🎃

Anywho, this is a yin yoga sequence for anxiety. It is based on the spleen and heart meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Practice this sequence (with or without the decor 👻) any time you’re feeling a little anxious.

This is not meant to replace therapy or medication as treatment for persistent anxiety. If you find that you’ e been struggling with anxiety for 3 months or longer, please consult a medical professional.

Here’s an example of a pose you might see in Restorative Stretch at @empoweryogafit! While this pose (reclined hero’s pose) is considered a restorative one by the great Judith Hanson Lasater, I consider it the stretch option. It requires a lot of opening in the hip flexors and quads, as well as being a backbend. It’s still a great option, but it’s quite alright if you’d rather take a restorative option instead. 😉

Today is my bday, and I figured I’d use the day to highlight my babies. 😉

This is why I usually do yoga outside (without the cats). They love being up in my space regardless of what kind of yoga I’m doing. If I’m on the floor, clearly I’m meant to be paying attention to them. 😹 But it certainly can be entertaining. I decided to let them have some porch time while I recorded yoga videos, and this was the result. Weirdo Joule found a leaf. 😹😹😹

All joking aside, they are my babies and I love them. I couldn’t imagine my life without cats.

Here is a yin yoga sequence for the water element. The water element is associated with stillness and deep inner reflection. It governs the kidney and urinary bladder meridians. It helps to cultivate the emotional resilience to go with the flow.

If you missed class last Sunday night, here’s a little peak at what we did. I call this an elevated twist. It changes the sensations of where you feel the stretch compared to a typical reclined or supported twist. If you have a bolster, or even a couple of pillows you can stack, try this out sometime!

This is a yin yoga sequence for the fire element. The fire element represents passion, joy, and transformation. It governs the heart, small intestine, pericardium, and triple burner meridians. By targeting these meridians, it is believed that we can relieve emotional tension and restore balance.

I had planned a different post for today, but with what’s going on in the news right now, I couldn’t just post another feel good yoga sequence. More than 1 in 5 women will experience r@pe in their lifetime. Yet men consistently care more about how they themselves are perceived than they do about keeping women safe. They rant about #notallmen, and yet when given the chance, 5 men who could’ve reported a r@pe chose to participate in it instead. And all they had to do was write essays. Her life is RUINED. But how dare we inconvenience the men who ruined it.

The first and most important thing we learn to practice in yoga is ahimsa, non-harming. Anyone in the yoga world who is not outraged by this isn’t practicing yoga correctly. Ahimsa doesn’t just mean to not cause harm yourself, but to also minimize harm throughout the world wherever possible and to help those who need it. If you want to be a real yogi, fight against injustice, like a young woman being drugged and r@ped and her attackers not being properly punished.

Would it surprise you to hear that there can be movement in yin yoga? Sometimes we use gentle movements in between poses to help the body rebound. What’s your favorite gentle movement?

Take a brief, 3-5 minute pause our of your day to practice this pose with me. If you don’t have blocks and bolsters, you can you books and pillows, even a small footstool could work to lean a pillow up against. This is just your periodic reminder to take some time to slow down throughout your busy day.
