“Come to the edge," he said.
"We can't, we're afraid!" they responded.
"Come to the edge," he said.
"We can't, We will fall!" they responded.
"Come to the edge," he said.
And so they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.”

Guillaume Apollinaire

Join our conversation as we unravel the fascinating intelligence hidden within your body's connective tissues. In this episode we unlock the 3 principals of yin yoga and transform your practice with insights that challenge conventional yoga paradigms. Discover how this style not only enhances flexibility but also prevents injury by targeting the body's less vascular tissues like tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Learn to master the art of finding your personal edge and experience the intelligent response of your body to stress, akin to non-Newtonian fluids adapting under pressure.

We explore the body's natural mechanisms for maintaining health, such as the formation of scar tissue and bone adaptation, all through the lens of yin yoga's unique approach. This episode sheds light on the holistic benefits of yin practice, emphasizing the importance of respecting physical limits while also navigating emotional and psychological boundaries.

By cultivating stillness and awareness through breath, this style confront the anxious and distracted mind, ultimately leading to personal growth and self-awareness.
