The Yin and Yang of a Daily Yoga Practice

In this video I am going to talk to you about balancing the yin and yang energies in our daily yoga practice. What is yin and what is yang and why would we want to think about balancing them in our daily yoga practice.

We tend to live in a yang dominant culture. One that values competition, goal-setting, being in action, focuses on performance and growth, and moving towards peak experience. When yang is at its fullest expression bigger is better and we are in an expanded state. Yang tends to be quite linear, focused on the mind, and involves planning a controlled and certain outcome of the future.

Yin is cooperation, circulating, connecting, focus on quality over quantity, focus on endurance, intuition, focus on intuition, focus on conservation, and focus on cycles and rhythms.

When it comes to our daily yoga practice we need a balance of yin and yang, we can’t have one without the other.
