Text me your feedback.

While Jen's taking a mini-break to get her homework done, she's bringing you the first of two short practices based on research she did last summer. 

If you're curious about the theory behind these yin yoga micro-practices, check out the last segment of Episode #113, where she talks about how practices like this can boost your mood by reducing tension and elevating your energy. 

In this micro-practice, Jen guides three yin yoga poses  while directing your attention to the physical experience of being in the poses. 

The sequence uses minimal verbal cues and several minutes of silence for each pose to help you deepen into the embodied experience. 

Poses: butterfly + half butterfly on each side

Suggested/Optional Props: folded blanket, blocks, small cushions
