S 2| EP. 3

In this episode, we will dive into the question of what is an advanced Yin Yoga?

So in the yogaverse, which we are all probably part of, Yoga has been taken from its original intent and has been turned into a bunch of funny shapes that you make with your body.

So most of the time when teachers are asking this question, they're talking about the Asana or the shapes.

They're talking about these pretzel poses that we make with our bodies, and they want to know about advanced Asana.

So here are some problems with that concept.

First of all, what is an advanced Asana to one person might be completely simple to another.

So there is no way to say, this is an advanced pose, and this is a beginner pose.

For example: One person could be super comfortable sitting on the floor in meditation. Another person could struggle with that just even sitting cross-legged. And yet that same person who has trouble sitting cross-legged could do a handstand in the middle of the room, but can't sit still and quiet on the floor in meditation.

So which one is the advanced Yogi?
