Quando ti appoggi al supporto, in questa versione yin di fish pose, la parte alta del busto smette di rimanere in tensione. Il torace si apre in modo graduale,Le spalle scendono, Il respiro si amplia. 🌿 Cosa succede nel corpo • La parte anteriore del petto si distende lentamente • Le spalle rilasciano la tensione accumulata • La zona tra scapole e torace si ammorbidisce • La colonna toracica ritrova movimento e spazio 🌬 Cosa succede al respiro • Il torace si espande meglio • L’aria entra con più facilità • La sensazione è di apertura e leggerezza 🧠 Cosa succede al sistema nervoso • Il corpo percepisce stabilità • La risposta di allerta si abbassa • La parte alta si rilassa senza sforzo 🫀 In MTC L’apertura del torace stimola i meridiani di Cuore, Polmone e Pericardio. 💛 L’essenza della pratica Ci concediamo del tempo senza forzare per lasciare che la pratica faccia il suo effetto. 🌿Se insegni porta questa versione supportata alla prossima lezione e vedi come rispondono. #yinyoga #yogateacher #sistemanervoso #consapevolezza

Sometimes the most powerful part of a forward fold is when you stop trying to go further. 🌿 Here I’m using blocks, a bolster and a strap to create enough support that I can actually rest. My target area is the back body, especially the tissues along the back of the legs and around the spine. 🌿 In the body With my head and upper body supported, I don’t have to keep pulling myself forward. Over time, I may notice less gripping through the hamstrings and back, while the weight of my head and shoulders can gradually settle into the support. 🌿 In the nervous system Support changes the experience. Instead of constantly asking, “Can I go deeper?”, I can begin noticing: Can I soften my jaw? Can I relax my shoulders? Can I let my breath become quieter? This is where Yin shifts from doing into sensing. 🌿 In the meridians In Traditional Chinese Medicine, forward-folding Yin poses are often associated with the Urinary Bladder meridian, which runs along the back body and down the backs of the legs. ✨ How to approach the pose Allow your breath to slow down. Relax your jaw and shoulders. Let the bolster, blocks and strap hold you. There’s nothing to pull or achieve here. And remember, straight legs are NOT the goal. In Functional Yin Yoga, I’m interested in the target area, not whether your pose looks like mine. Bend your knees, sit higher, add more support, or choose another variation if that works better for your body. The pose should adapt to your body, not the other way around. 💙 Comment RESET and I’ll send you my FREE Open Body Starter Series. 🌿 #yinyoga #functionalyoga #forwardfold #meridians #healthyaging

Si sientes tensión en cuello y hombros en Yin, prueba esto y recuerda que los bloques no siempre están ahí para llevarte más lejos en una postura, a veces están para sostenerte, crear espacio y permitir que el cuerpo se relaje de verdad. En estas 3 posturas de Yin, colocar los bloques de una forma u otra puede ayudarte a encontrar más comodidad en la zona de cervicales y hombros, especialmente cuando tendemos a acumular tensión ahí. ✨ Prueba a: → buscar soporte antes que profundidad → dejar que el peso del cuerpo descanse → respirar sin intentar “conseguir” más de la postura → escuchar qué necesita tu cuerpo ese día Guárdalo para tu próxima sesión de Yin 🧘🏼‍♀️ Con cariño, Valentina #YinYoga #YinYogaPractice #YogaForShoulders #YogaForNeck #chandracommunity

Ti senti stancæ ma fai fatica a rilassarti? Prova queste tre posizioni, mantenute un pò più lungo e con il corpo completamente sostenuto, per calmare il tuo sistema nervoso. 1. FARFALLA DISTESA
3–5 min
una posizione di apertura del petto e delle anche, che favorisce il rilascio delle tensioni e invita il corpo ad abbandonarsi alla gravità. 2. RANA SUPPORTATA
2–4 min
Un’apertura profonda ma passiva di anche e adduttori, che aiuta a distendere la zona lombare e accompagna il corpo a un rilascio profondo. 3. POSIZIONE DEL BAMBINO SUPPORTATA
3–5 min
Una posizione raccolta che invita a rallentare. Attraverso il supporto si crea una sensazione di sicurezza e sostegno, aiutando il corpo a lasciarsi andare e rallentare. Rimani nelle posizioni senza forzare e lascia che sia il respiro a guidarti. Salva il Reel per la prossima volta in cui senti il bisogno di rallentare. #yinyoga #yogaitalia #yogapractice #yogaforrelaxation

WARUM FÄLLT DIR DAS LOSLASSEN GERADE IM HERBST SO SCHWER? 🍂 Vielleicht merkst du es gerade selbst. Du schläfst unruhiger, wachst nachts auf oder fühlst dich emotional empfindlicher als sonst. Alte Erinnerungen kommen hoch. Trauer, Kummer oder Dinge, von denen du dachtest, du hättest sie längst hinter dir gelassen. In der TCM ist der Herbst die Zeit des Metall-Elements. Ihm werden Lunge und Dickdarm zugeordnet. Sie stehen symbolisch für Trauer, Abschied und die Fähigkeit, loszulassen. Auch die chinesische Organuhr kennt diese Verbindung: Die Lunge hat ihre Zeit zwischen 3 und 5 Uhr morgens, der Dickdarm zwischen 5 und 7 Uhr. Wenn du in diesen Stunden häufiger wach liegst, darf das ein Anlass sein, liebevoll hinzuschauen, was dich gerade beschäftigt. Nicht, weil die Uhrzeit deine Gefühle erklärt, sondern weil du vielleicht schon länger etwas mit dir herumträgst. Schau dir die Natur an. Die Bäume lassen ihre Blätter fallen. Die Tage werden kürzer. Die nach außen gerichtete Yang-Energie des Sommers weicht zunehmend der ruhigeren, nach innen gerichteten Yin-Energie. Die Natur zieht sich zurück. Sie muss nicht das ganze Jahr blühen. Und du? Vielleicht versuchst du immer noch, genauso viel zu leisten, genauso stark zu sein und alles zusammenzuhalten. Dabei sehnst du dich längst nach Ruhe. Diese unterstützte Yin-Haltung, „Das Jackett“, ist ein kleiner Impuls, um deinem Körper genau diesen Raum zu schenken. Sie kann helfen, Spannungen im oberen Rücken und in den Schultern zu reduzieren, den Atem zu beruhigen und einen Moment des Innehaltens zu finden. Doch eine Übung allein verändert nicht die Muster, die dich immer wieder in Anspannung bringen. Wenn du spürst, dass du schon lange funktionierst, obwohl dein Körper und deine Seele nach etwas anderem verlangen, musst du diesen Weg nicht allein gehen. In meiner persönlichen Begleitung schaffen wir Raum für das, was dich belastet, und entwickeln Wege, wie du wieder mehr innere Ruhe, Sicherheit und Verbindung zu dir selbst finden kannst. Schreib mir eine DM oder RESET in die Kommentare, wenn du dir dabei Unterstützung wünschst. Namasté & Happy Buddhaface #yinyoga #ne

I LOVE sequencing a Yin practice around my props rather than constantly moving everything around between poses 🤍 This is one of those set yourself up, get cosy and stay there kind of practices. All you need is: ✨ 1 yoga bolster ✨ 2 yoga blocks And from there, the props barely move. The flow: ✨ Reclined Half Butterfly - each side ✨ Full Reclined Butterfly ✨ Supported Sphinx ✨ Child’s Pose ✨ Dragonfly ✨ Reclined Figure 4 - each side ✨ Elevated Easy Pose - each side ✨ Legs Up the Bolster Savasana (my personal fave) For a shorter 30-minute practice, hold each shape for around 2–3 minutes. Or, for a deliciously slow 60-minute practice, stay for around 5 minutes per pose and give yourself a proper 10-minute Savasana at the end 🤍 This one gives you a lovely mix of hip opening, gentle spinal extension, forward folding, supported stillness and plenty of time to let the body settle without constantly breaking the mood to rearrange everything. Perfect for evenings, rainy days, tired days or those moments when you want a proper Yin practice but absolutely cannot be bothered with prop admin 💤 Save this one to come back to whenever you need. #yinyoga #yinflow #slowmovement #restorativeyoga #mindfulmovement

I stayed here for 3 minutes. And this is what I noticed ↓ At first, I could feel how much tension I was holding in my hips and lower back. But as I stayed still and stopped trying to do anything, my breathing became slower, my body softened and my mind became quieter. That’s one of the things I love about Yin — sometimes the shift comes from staying, not doing more. Turtle Pose can create a deep opening through the hips and lower back, while the stillness and slower breathing can support a more regulated, restful state. Energetically, it’s an inward-facing pose — a chance to turn your attention away from everything happening around you and back towards yourself. Try it for 2–3 minutes, with plenty of support. No forcing, no pushing deeper. Just enough time to notice what changes. And if Turtle doesn’t feel right for your body, choose a gentler variation. 🤍 Small practices. No pressure. More coming this week. / Maria 🌿 Follow @yogini_ia for more 💗 #turtlepose #yinyoga #nervoussystemregulation #hiprelease #lowbackrelease

Right at the base of your skull sits a small but mighty muscle group — the suboccipitals. They’re one of the first places we hold tension when we’re stressed, scrolling, or stuck scanning for threats that aren’t there. These muscles sit close to the brainstem and vagus nerve, so releasing them can help cue your nervous system out of fight-or-flight and into rest & digest. Grab a myoball, place it just below the skull on either side of your spine, and let the weight of your head do the work. Breathe. Stay for a few minutes. Let go of what you don’t need to hold onto today. Save this for the next time you feel stressed and tensed around your neck. 🌸 #myofascialrelease #suboccipitals #tensionrelease #necktension #yinyoga

Je suis restée 4 minutes de chaque côté. Et non, je n’essayais pas simplement d’étirer un muscle. Un muscle est principalement élastique : il s’allonge, puis tend à revenir à sa longueur initiale. Le fascia, lui, est viscoélastique. Il réagit aussi au temps, à la température, à la respiration et à la vitesse avec laquelle on lui impose une contrainte. Quand on reste plusieurs minutes, lentement, ce ne sont donc pas les mêmes tissus ni les mêmes mécanismes que dans un étirement rapide. Ici, je travaille particulièrement la ligne myofasciale latérale : du bord externe du pied jusqu’au côté du crâne, en passant par la jambe, la hanche, les obliques et les côtes. En médecine traditionnelle chinoise, le côté latéral du corps est notamment parcouru par le méridien de la vésicule biliaire. Il est symboliquement associé à l’élément Bois, à notre capacité à choisir une direction, et aux états de frustration ou de colère mais surtout de DOUTE. Cela ne signifie pas que les émotions seraient littéralement « stockées » dans le fascia. Mais le corps, le système nerveux, la respiration et notre état émotionnel ne fonctionnent jamais séparément. Concrètement, après 4 minutes : → Plus d’espace et de mobilité. → Moins de résistance dans les tissus. → Un système nerveux qui relâche progressivement sa protection. → Une action sur toute la ligne myofasciale latérale. → En médecine chinoise : méridien de la vésicule biliaire, associé à la frustration, à la colère et à notre capacité à avancer.

This isn’t about stretching further. It’s about creating the conditions to soften. In this supported prone frog variation, the bolsters support much of your body weight, allowing the front of the hips, belly, chest, shoulders and neck to gradually let go without force. As your body feels more supported, you may notice your breathing become slower, your jaw softens, and tension you didn’t realise you were holding begin to melt away. There’s nowhere to get to here. Simply settle in, breathe naturally, and if it feels comfortable for your body, stay for 5-10 minutes. 💛 Save this for later, and if you try it, I’d love to hear what changed for you after 10 minutes.
