SPRING YIN sequence with Gallbladder focus

3/25/2017

Picture
From the SPRING INTO YIN series a sequence that focuses on stretching the side-body, outer hip, gluteus and outer thigh - as that is where the Gallbladder meridian runs. 

Gallbladder works in tandem with Liver and both of these organs carry the energy of the element of WOOD within us. 
Wood grants us the power of birth new beginnings, growth, breaking through boundaries and surging forward. It is the vigorous, exuberant energy of the SPRING season.

A BEGINNER friendly yin sequence for liver and gallbladder. You'll find a sequence card, plus detailed descriptions of postures and variations. I am still working on getting my video project up and running again. Until then - this could be a good alternative.
This is part of a SPRING TO YIN series - inspired by a workshop series I held here in Berlin.  It is a seasonal offering, but these sequences of course can be used any time.

Late summer - autumn YIN practice

​I apologize first, this is NOT A VIDEO as I am facing ridiculously many obstacles in trying to finish editing this last clip I shot on an incredibly beautiful late September day. 
As this was meant to be a seasonal yoga offering, I decided to break it down into stills  -  and hopefully one day (soon) I'll manage to finish the edit of the filmed version. 
​Please give it a try, practicing in a different way and let me know what you think.

A 30 minute hip and spine yin holds.
Have a few props ready in case you need them - a few blankets, and/or blocks if you have. 
The aim of the practice was to create a relatively short practice that will have an affect on the whole body, stimulating the kidney meridian for vibrancy and vitality, liver and gallbladder meridians for healthy flow of energy and emotional balance.

Picture
In this YIN practice we focus on the hips and the lower body, we bring awareness to the exhale and letting that downflow connect us to the earth. It's a time of nurturing, centering, connecting, slowing down.

EARTH PRACTICE series - focuses on grounding, finding ones center, winding down. We begin from ground up - as any healing begins by strengthening and reconnecting to your own center and listening to your own inner voice.

EARTH PRACTICE series - it means a 3-part practice that focuses on getting you grounded, centered and lands you in your body.

I brought my earth yoga outdoors of course, onto the earth to soak up some of that earthy Qi. 
The practice consists of 30 minute Yin yoga, 30 minute Yang (Hatha) yoga and 15 minutes of meditation, it leaves you balanced with two feet on the ground.

4-part yoga journey consists of 4 practice videos each about 20 minutes long. You can use them separately or mix and match to create a practice that suits your mood, time of day and your energy level.

PART 3 is a  Yin yoga practice - long holds in stretches, mainly targeting the hips and the spine. Yin yoga balances the more dynamic practices, bringing in the qualities of acceptance and patience, slowing you down enough to notice the subtle aspects of how your body and mind operate, relate and react.

4-PART YOGA JOURNEY

1/19/2015

Picture
Do you have those days when you know, that moving a little on your mat would do you a world of good, but still it is damn hard to get on the mat? I do. On those days, I get on the mat anyway, but first I just lay on my back, roll around a bit, start breathing more deeply and do some very basic and simple exercises that get the energy moving. First I give myself permission to feel whatever I'm feeling, no obligations or pressure for it to be something different. More often than not, starting out in this manner - moving WITH whatever is present - my practice shapes me from feeling stuck into an effortless flow, often keeping me on the mat and moving much longer than I intended. Without force, pressure, expectation or agenda. I'm sharing one of those practices here with you

RESTORATIVE YOGA - unplug and recharge (20 minutes)

I am putting this out a day before Christmas Eve! We are fully into the holiday season, fully in the darkest time of the year (here in the Northern hemisphere). In the nature, this is the time for hibernation, for slowing down, for sleeping more and taking rest. Time for introspection, maybe count your blessings of the year that has almost passed.

YIN YOGA - for lower back and hips

7/8/2014

0 Comments

 
This one is a real home video - I filmed this as a wedding gift to my best friend in Australia. We met at our Yoga Teacher Training in 2007 in Byron Bay and since then have supported each other through various trials life has presented us with. Yoga has always been something that has united us, so when filming these simple practices of Vinyasa and Yin Yoga I was  re-living the times we used to practice together. So if at times, I come across as if talking to my best friend - it is because I AM talking to (you as) my best friend. Jacinta happily lets me share these videos with you, I've edited out some parts where I'm addressing her directly, but a lot of the warmth I feel for her and her husband is still very much captured, I think.


This one is a meditative Yin Yoga practice. I will explain the nature of the practice at the beginning of the video. It is aimed mainly for your lower back and also to get deeper into the hips (stimulating your kidney and urinary bladder meridians through forward folds and sphinx pose, and the stomach meridian through the lunge series).  As always, stay mindful of your body's limitation - no pushing, no forcing, stay kind and loving!
