Yin Yoga Lessons: Learning To Stay

<p><strong>Season 8 | Ep. 6</strong></p><p><strong>Yin Yoga Lessons: Learning to Stay</strong></p><p>In this episode, I&#39;m diving into something I&#39;ve been thinking about a lot lately, the lost art of staying. </p><p>Like, actually being able to sit with yourself without immediately reaching for your phone or looking for the next distraction.</p><p>I talk about how Yin Yoga, with its longer holds and quieter pace, is honestly one of the best tools I know for learning how to stay with sensation, with boredom, with restlessness, with whatever&#39;s showing up. And why that matters way beyond the Yoga mat.</p><p>As a mid-Gen Xer, I have a pretty clear memory of life before smartphones, and I think that frame of reference has been really eye-opening for me lately. I&#39;ve been craving a more analog life, and I think a lot of us are feeling that, even if we can&#39;t totally name it.</p><p>We also get into:</p><ul><li>Why boredom isn&#39;t actually the enemy (spoiler: it&#39;s where creativity lives)</li><li>The rebound/resonance after a Yin shape — and why it&#39;s actually the hardest part of staying</li><li>How the inability to stay shows up in our bodies, our emotions, and our attention spans</li><li>A little guided reflection you can use yourself or with your students</li></ul><p>If you&#39;re a Yin teacher, there&#39;s also some good stuff in here around how to weave this theme into your classes, either as a full theme or just in little cues you drop in throughout practice.</p><p><br></p><p><em>Enjoying the pod?
