Most to least favourite Yoga posture
I believe there is always a reason why we love the poses we love and I definitely encourage students and teachers alike to keep on practicing them, since they are meant to ground us more, to restore our bodies, to nurture our minds and our energy. However, I think also getting out of our comfort zone at least sometimes, helps us grow a lot and learn more about ourselves. How we approach a posture is also a reflection on how we approach life.
Yin Yoga and TCM: Summer & Late Summer season- elements, organs and emotions
Yin Yoga in the summer, with its longer holds and stretch of the deeper connective tissues, can immensely help balance the season's Yang energy with a more grounding and introspective approach as well as a deeper connection to the body's natural rhythm, so it is recommended to do more Yin flows or slower gentle practices during this season than any other.
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.
