Yin Yoga Integration to Strengthen Your Lungs & Find Greater Acceptance

While you can't control what happens during a pandemic, you can certainly control how you protect yourself right now. And taking care of your Lung health is essential. 

According to Chinese Medicine, your Lungs circulate Wei Qi, or defensive Qi, the barrier that protects you from any pathogenic factor physically and emotionally.

Staying calm and supporting your Wei Qi to function optimally will ultimately provide protection against anything that can enter your body from outside, including colds, flus and viruses.

In this Yoga Integration practice, you’ll learn simple exercises to strengthen your Lungs to build your immunity and your confidence.

Though it takes more than just exercise to strengthen your Lungs, there's a lot you can do in just 20 minutes to boost your Lung Qi. And since the Lungs also help you let go so you can find acceptance, in this yoga practice you'll also learn tips to support your Lung health and find greater acceptance regardless of what happens in the world around you.

Yin Yoga Integration to Help You Breathe Deeply

Did you know that one of the most essential things you can do to shift from surviving to thriving is to remember to take deep breaths? 

Studies have shown that regular deep breathing can alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, and improve heart function, mood and memory. 

The deeper you breathe, the more calm your nervous system, the better your digestion and the more present you can be to deal with all of life's challenges.

But what if it feels too hard to take a deep breath?

According to Chinese Medicine, the Lungs have an important relationship with the Liver. If your Liver is too toxic or you're under a lot of stress, your Liver can insult your Lungs, resulting in chest tightness, diaphragmatic constriction and shortness of breath. 

In this Yoga Integration practice, you'll learn exercises to help you relax your Liver Qi and open your Lungs so you can let go of stress and anxiety, and finally breathe deeply.

Yin Yoga Integration for Balance

Yin Yoga Integration to Quell Fear & Cultivate Inner Peace

 In this Yoga Integration practice, you'll learn tools that'll help you build your Kidney energy to quell your fear and cultivate inner peace.

Yin Yoga Integration to Open Your Heart

Simply thinking about "self-love" can be triggering, especially amidst the social climate and dis-ease that we’re all experiencing. But here’s what’s important—if you don’t cultivate self-love, what will you have to give to others? To fill your cup till it runs over, you must open your heart and I’m going to show you how to do just that.

This Yoga Integration practice will support you to open your heart to greater possibilities, while reducing physical and emotional tension, including anxiety, to help break you out of feeling stuck and depleted.

Change is challenging. Perhaps more difficult than adjusting to a new normal is experiencing the grief that comes with letting go of old habits, beliefs and lifestyles. Inherent in times of change is the feeling of sadness that arises through the process of (and resistance to) letting go.

The full spectrum of human emotion is beautiful — as long as we have tools to navigate our experiences.

In this Yoga Integration practice, you’ll learn why sadness is such an important emotion, and what you can do to transform your blues and rekindle innate joy.
