Yin Yoga and TCM: Autumn season- meridians and postures
Autumn season represents the transition between Yang and Yin, from the expansive and solar energy of summer, to the more introspective and slow one of autumn and later winter. Summer energy might be the best season to juggle many things at the same time, but Autumn is definitely the time to harvest the fruits of our actions and also narrow our focus to one thing at a time, finding a balance between doing and resting.
Strength vs. Softness in Asana practice
Just like life itself, our Yoga practice is also a game of balancing strength and softness, pushing forward and letting go. I often see it as an invitation to welcome both of these states and not resisting to any of them.
Yielding in Yoga practice
When we yield, we are adaptable in our bodies, thoughts and speech: firm but able to bend without breaking. We respond adequately to any situation, be it in our everyday life or in a Yoga practice.
