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.

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.
