Beware of the Yin Police

Beware of the Yin Police

S. 3 | Ep. 8

In this episode of the Yin Yoga podcast, I delve into the topic of 'Yin Yoga Policing', with a focus on defining what constitutes a Yin Yoga pose.

Questions from Yin Yoga Facebook groups inspired this episode. I share my thoughts and personal experiences, especially from my training with Mr. Yin Yoga teacher Paul Grilley.

Paul (and I) emphasize the need for critical thinking rather than following a dogmatic approach, advocating for a more flexible and inclusive practice.

I'll discuss the inclusion of upper body poses and the use of props in Yin yoga, and argue against rigidly declaring certain poses as 'not Yin'. By encouraging adaptations to meet individual needs, I aim to promote a more open and understanding Yin yoga community.
