Yoga Nidra: Deep Rest: The Giving Tree

The practice of shavasana (corpse pose) can facilitate the arising of this state.

Yin Yoga: the practice of quiet power

Just as the muscles need our attention to stay healthy and resilient, so does the connective tissue. In order to keep our muscles healthy we need to approach them in a dynamic way, we need to move and stretch. Muscles respond to stress and effort, however our Yin tissues are very different.

Rather than movement and striving, which are yang ways of approaching things, our yin tissues need gentleness and acceptance. When we go into a Yin posture the first line of resistance we face as our joints open or close is from our muscles.
