The Yin Yoga PodcastShould Yin Yoga Be Deep or Mild?A debate that rages on. Some students swear by the benefit of of deep and intense duration stretch.

Mandy is an evidence-based Yin Yoga teacher, and this is an information-packed conversation about how Yin Yoga fits into the pain care equation for her students. We talk about what is (and is not) part of a pain care-informed approach to Yin Yoga, and how it is much more than finding the “3 magic poses” for whatever part of the of the body is in pain. Mandy also talks about her experiences with hypermobility and Yin Yoga, and we have a grea...

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin & Somatics: Thoracic ExpressionThe upper back is an area that can be a big source of tension and even pain. We also have a fair amount of cultural baggage around the appropriate way to hold our upper back. Even in the Yoga world, we tend to favor a stiff and straight upper back above other shapes. But the upper back is capable of so much more, and I believe we suffer when we get locked in to a specific posture or expression. In this practice, we explore the capacity of the upper back to generate movements, sensations and even emotions. W...

The Yin Yoga PodcastUnderstanding Yin Yoga and FasciaWhile it's true that you could practice Yin Yoga for a lifetime without knowing a thing about science, I do believe that a little scientific knowledge can go a long way. It's amazing how just a bit of understanding can influence the choices you make in your practice or in your teaching. How subjective experiences become even richer and more meaningful. It's amazing how separating fact from fiction empowers you. In this solo episode I give you an introduction to fascia. In Yin we talk a lot about targeting fascia, but is that really true.

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin & Somatics: Hip Flexor ReliefThe hip flexors are a group of muscles on the front of the hip which include the psoas, the illiacus and the rectus femoris. These muscles flex the hip, or draw the knee up toward the torso. However, a pain care approach will never reduce an issue to just one aspect of self such as certain muscles or tissues. So this practice makes use of several pain care strategies. We will explore hip flexor pain and stiffness through the lens of somatics, stretching, awareness, neuro motor training and regulation.This practice is intended to provide quick relief...

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin & Meditation for AcceptanceWhen most of us hear the word acceptance, we think of giving up or giving in. Our culture makes a virtue of resisting, fighting, wriggling out of difficult circumstances. But there is enormous value in the practice of accepting first. Acknowledging is the first step in self compassion. This pod-practice is about moving forward with compassion, rather than squashing our feelings or disappointment or grief. We will explore poses that focus on the shoulders, chest and upper back as we progress through a gentle meditation. Our meditation is loosely based on the Tonglen or Lions’ Roar practice fro...

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin & Somatics: How to Stretch Your NeckI’m sort of amazed, and appalled, about how much misinformation there is about neck pain.

Sorry to all of those influencers who are peddling this myth. There are ways that we can use stretches as part of a pain care plan however, and this is what you will practice here.

Our nervous systems are beautifully evolved to help us to attend to our survival needs by interacting with not just the objects and situations of the natural world, but also, other human nervous systems. But the opposite is true as well. No human can survive without the ability to disengage from the world. Our nervous systems evolved platforms to help us to release what is outside of us so that we may fulfill an essential need, sleep. But so many of us can't disengage. We s...

Most people believe that Pain Care Yoga is all about stretching. And yes, Yoga for pain care may include stretching, but it's just one ingredient in a very complicated recipe. Each element is part of a process for building capacity and improving body image. This is a practice that includes all of the ways that I rehab body image; movement, stillness, awareness, and education. Our practice will focus on releasing...

The Yin Yoga PodcastGetting to Know Your Back: Part 2Many who have back pain believe that their spine is unstable. There is a distinct feeling of instability and vulnerability in the back that is reinforced by confusing or misleading messages coming from popular culture and even medical professionals. Current research shows however not that people with back pain are not unstable, but too stiff! In this short practice we will gently explore that stiffness and seek to restore subtilty and differentiation to the movements of the back, especially the spine and ribs.This is the second episode in a short series "Getting to Know Your Back"...

The Yin Yoga PodcastGetting to Know Your Back: Part 1Most of us think of the back as a collection of tissues; North of the hips and behind the core, supported by the spine. We don’t think too much about it unless something goes wrong. Which, happens a lot. Most adults will experience non-specific back pain within their lifetime. That is to say, back pain which has no specific etiology that can be seen on scans. The back is an incredibly complicated structure anatomically, but even more so when you consider other parts of the experience like the the vascular system and the nervous system.

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin & Somatics: Trusting the ShoulderFor this gentle but incredibly powerful practice, I have borrowed a lesson from the Feldenkrais Method. You will engage in gentle progressions to experience not just movement of the shoulder joint, but the embodied experience of the shoulder, from the tissues, to your thoughts and beliefs about your shoulder. A practice like this feels mild, but trust that your body is learning, that your nervous systems are developing a faith and confidence in your shoulder. This is a very affirmational way to experience your shoulder, which may facilitate an experience of healing if you struggle with this area.

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin & Somatics: Hip SootherIf I had a dollar for every time a student asked for a yoga pose for tight, or painful hips.... It's one of the main reasons that people come to Yin. The notion that stretching tight hips will relieve stiffness is well embedded into our Yoga/fitness culture. But, based on the evidence that I have seen, stretching does not adaptively lengthen muscles. So, can Yin help? YES! Just not for the reasons you may think. This is a short go-to practice for you if you suffer with tight or painful hips. We will explore some better options than...

Yin can be an amazing complement to strength training. Active restoration and rest are as essential to building muscle, endurance and stamina as weight training and cardio. Those activities break us down a bit, in a good way! And rest supports the natural regeneration of tissues that allows us not to just get back to where we started, but a little better. Over time this is how we become resilient, how we improve our energy levels and strengthen our tissues. So...

We've got dozens of ways to blast, release, roll and massage this supposed problem. But what if the tension you were experiencing was not exactly what you thought it was? What if it wasn't harmful?

We do know that restoring a suppleness and fluidity to the tissues of the low back, glutes, pelvic floor and thighs can be helpful .

As you move through the poses, I will add another layer to practice. Our true goal is to practice self awareness or interoception. This is an important skill for developing self compassion. The benefits of self compassion go way beyond this practice and well into your life. Developing self compassion is a task that takes some time, and...

The Yin Yoga PodcastRelease for Low Back and HipsI get a lot of requests for practices that focus on the low back and hips. These are notoriously sensitive areas and students really want stretches to address the tightness and pain that they are experiencing. The only issue is, I don't really think stretching is the best way to release these or really any tissues. For this practice, we will do some familiar Yin poses but with a different angle. As you practice you will learn about the important thoracolumbar fascia and hopefully gain some understanding about how to address the stiffness in more helpful ways. P...

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin & Somatics: Simple Practice for Low Back PainAs a Movement for Healing Coach, I work with a lot of people with chronic back pain. While every client is different, there are some go to practices that I find are very helpful. This practice is a distillation of some of the strategies I use with my clients; Somatic work, Yoga, mindfulness and light, experiential education. It's a bit shorter than my average episode as well, since I want to make sure you can fit this into a busy day if needed. My hope is that this practice will be a go to for you if y...

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin & Somatics: Here for NowI think we're all a little tired right now. Things are piling up for sure at this stage in the pandemic. This is a practice that I offered recently to bring a bit of TLC and care to some students who are dealing with some heavy stuff. Even in these moments, maybe especially, Yoga has something to offer. This practice is all about being available to now, a moment where everything is right. I've also used movements to gently provide an experience of safety for you to let down your guard for a bit.

The Yin Yoga PodcastWall Yin and The MatrixWall Yin is by far my most requested class. It's a sweetly intense restorative type of practice. During your postures I will cue you through a simple meditation observing both restlessness and peace in the physical body. My theme this week was inspired by the first Matrix movie which, IMO, is full of Yoga/Eastern Philosophy concepts. For class you need a wall space! You'll place the short edge of your mat to the wall and need about 3 feet on either side of your mat. A bolster or some pillows, a blanket and a block or two w...

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin & Somatics for AnxietyEvidence informed practice doesn't need to be complicated. This gentle practice makes use of research backed techniques to reduce anxiety during practice, but also to provide daily tools for relief. Simple, repetitive movements, breath awareness, body awareness, novelty. Each of these are very powerful, drug free methods for anxiety relief. We will focus on the hip flexors and adductors (front and insides of your legs). These areas are often very stiff and guarding in those who suffer from anxiety. Props needed: Bolster and blanketTo celebrate the launch of the Shift membership we are giving a...

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin & Somatics: Sublime SidebendsThis is the kind of wiggly, stretchy, feel-y practice that I love. We will focus our movement on more comfortable side bending, but I think that you will find that the side bend contributes to many other movements like shoulder comfort and hip mobility. Short sections of somatic education will be bookended with favorite Yin poses. As you move we will explore the unfathomably amazing body that you have, it's capacity to learn, grow, and protect you far beyond your conscious awareness.

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin & Meditation: Outcome IndependenceA very traditional supported Yin with plenty of stillness in our favorite feel good poses. In this practice we will practice outcome independence. Often when we practice we have a goal or intention in mind. While this can be useful, meditation is most productive when we approach with a sense of openness and curiosity. Learn how cultivating outcome independence can enhance your Yin practice, meditation practice and even your life. Props needed: bolster or firm pillows, 2 Yoga blocks and a blanket or two.

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin & Somatics: Teaching the ShoulderIn this practice we will take bits and pieces of a Feldenkrais Method® Lesson focusing on effortless shoulder movement. Yummy Yin poses will be held at strategic moments to allow you to integrate and rest between progressions. My main intent with this practice is to improve the reach. This is a movement that can be problematic for many. As we age especially, the ability to reach comfortably and fully tends to be diminished. But it's such an important skill! This practice will take some commonly challenging movements out of context to allow you to explore your full range of m...

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin & Somatics: Free Your Sternum for a Happier NeckThis practice is a special hug for my fellow Yogis who suffer from neck pain, stiffness and tension headaches. We will incorporate a few Yin poses into a somatic lesson that I created to help you to free your sternum. Learning how to free the center of your chest and differentiate your ribs can be life changing. Allowing your hip to communicate with your sternum and your nose and even your eyes will have a profound effect on how your neck feels. This class is a big education for your deep neck flexors and tiny capitis muscles as well...

As you breathe in movement and stillness you will meditate on pure sensory data and experientially learn to mute thinking in favor of feeling. This simple meditation has profound effects on your nervous systems and on your quality of movement. As you marinate in sensory data, I'll explain a bit about how beliefs influence quality of movement. Our poses will focus on the hips and low back, making this practice an incredible reset for these hardworking tissues.Props: Bolster, blocks, blanketTo learn more...

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin and Your Nervous SystemsI love Yin. I hope that is obvious. I've spent years developing my teaching style and skill. I am always studying topics as diverse as cell structure and psychology to apply to my teaching. So, I hope you will understand that sometimes, when I hear people talk about Yin, I get a bit testy. Because, if you poll most Yogis, Yin is about stretching connective tissue. But Yogi, that is the least interesting thing about Yin. We have so much more to do here. In this practice, we will explore some of the benefits of Yin for your nervous s...

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin & Somatics: Hip to ShoulderThis practice is not a very traditional Yin. If you love to be exposed to something different in your practice you will love this. If you enjoy learning things about yourself in movement and stillness, you will love this. We will make use of little bits and pieces of an Awareness Through Movement lesson called Hip to Shoulder as well as poses that illuminate this relationship particularly well. This is a practice that I use often with my students who come to me with contralateral hip/shoulder pain. I find that it makes some mental/spiritual connections that can...

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin & Somatics: Body Here-nessMany of us develop an antagonism with our bodies. In our younger years it's because we fret that we don't have the most desirable features, or that we don't measure up to attractiveness standards. As we age we feel betrayed by the body for getting older, for not being as bullet proof as it once was in youth. Illness and pain almost always result in negative feelings about the body, sometimes even anger. In this practice we will move through some gentle yet powerful somatic informers to help us settle fully into supported poses. We will also make use...

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin + Somatics: Understanding your Sacroiliac Joint (SIJ)This is a restorative-y Yin with somatics thrown in for good measure. In my work with students and clients, I find that the sacroiliac joint is quite misunderstood. This really chill practice invites you to explore the anatomy of the hip as well as the movement available to you. It feels so amazing, especially if you get achy in your hips and low back. This is a practice you should bookmark if you often have issues with your hip/low back on one side. You will need a bolster, or a couple of pillows piled up, a c...

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin + Somatics: Effortless Neck MovementIf you are suffering from a sore, tight or painful neck, drop everything and hit play. When the neck is in this state, it's not really the time to work with it directly. Now is the time for gentle, effortless movement so we will influence the neck passively by moving the pelvis. This technique is all about neuroplasticity. Your brain has been practicing pain and stiffness for awhile, if we want to de-sensitize, we'll need to teach the brain that the neck CAN move freely and without pain. This practice does just that. And it feels so amazing.

In our new zoom culture it's even more prevalent and I have certainly been seeing this with my clients. My work is mostly with individuals suffering from chronic pain and this practice is one that I employ often. Effortless movement in the neck generated by the pelvis is soothing for the nervous system and informative for the body and interoceptive maps in the brain. Also, it just feels really good :) You will need a couple of blankets for this practice.To learn more about Pain Care Yoga, Please...

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin: Homage to Your SpineYour spine is the most exquisite structure. Capable of incredible mobility and unparalleled stability, it's been evolving for millions of years and has within it the intelligence of eons. Yet, if you listen to popular culture and even some Yoga wisdom, the spine is very delicate. It is in need of protection and only truly stable in a few select positions. From my perspective as a Yoga for Pain Care Specialist, this is not just wrong but inestimably harmful. This class is an homage to your spine and the incredible versatility it has. Spend an hour really honoring and...

The internal sense of oneself is correlated with more compassion, better health and even better perception of time. This practice focuses on the experience of feeling both in a sensory way and emotionally. I'll coach you through Somatic education blended with long holds in gentle postures to offer you opportunities to experience sensations and the emotional feelings they engender.

Stress affects every cell of you, sometimes in unexpected ways. Your endocrine system, your immune system, and your motor system all mobilize to protect you from real or potential threats. In this class we will explore the areas of the body that are often guarding, ready to fight or flee; the psoas and the pelvic floor. We will utilize breathing practice, awareness, somatic education and yes, even a little stretching to soothe these areas which can in turn, turn down the volume in your...

We will be taking the common Supta Padangusthasana series (supine hand to big toe) in a VERY creative and supported way. As you melt into these poses I'll get you into the loop as well about your hamstrings. Yogis get a lot of misinformation about stretching and no area is as misunderstood as the hamstrings. As you practice, I offer some information about stretching that you can apply immediately. The change in perspective is sublime and I hope you walk away from your class not with longer hamstrings but with a greater...

The Yin Yoga PodcastYin + Meditation: This Time With Feeling!My primary work is with individuals who suffer from chronic pain. Yoga has a wealth of benefits for these people. One of the things that I notice is that when you've had pain for a long time, you tend to think about pain rather than feeling it. Research has found this too so don't take my word for it. An area of the brain called the Default Mode Network, or the "me-network" just spins all the time. So meditation and learning to disengage from our thoughts can actually really help you unravel those pain responses. This practice is geared...
