Yin: Sensation & Stillness (50HR)

Embodied Yin is a comprehensive immersion designed to move beyond passive stretching and into the physiological, energetic, and somatic realities of long-held stillness.
In a culture driven by output and hyper-mobility, this training investigates the art of non-striving. You will study how connective tissue, joint clearance, and the nervous system respond to time and gravity, learning to differentiate between productive fascial load and neurological guarding. Threading principles of polyvagal regulation, somatic interoception, and Yoga Nidra, this program equips you to practice and guide slow, trauma-aware containers with technical precision and deep presence.
What You Will Study & Embody
Foundations & Fascial Mechanics: Tension vs. compression, joint architecture, and finding a sustainable 60–70% edge without aggressive passive hanging.
Nervous System States in Stillness: Tracking sympathetic arousal, dorsal withdrawal, and parasympathetic settling during extended 3–6 minute holds and rebounds.
Liminal States & Nidra: Bridging static floor shapes into guided non-sleep deep rest, exploring brainwave states, somatic rotation, and the felt sense of safety.
Sequencing & Language Economy: Designing intelligent Yin arcs (Entrance, Hold, Rebound, Counter, Exit) and cultivating cueing precision that honors silence.
Accessibility & Adaptive Prop Architecture: Tailoring postures for diverse skeletal variations, tissue histories, and mobility needs.
