Yin Yoga Podcast

S 1 | EP. 3So I often notice, both with my students and also just in kind of Facebook groups or teacher circles there isn't a very good understanding of yin-yang theory, and that can make teaching yin yoga pretty challenging. That's why there are all kinds of confusing things happening in the yoga verse when it comes to yin and yang.And I think that's because a lot of Yin trainings is quite short and they don't dive into Yin-Yang theory. And that might be because the teacher wants to focus more on other things. Or it might be that the teacher who's doing the training actually hasn't studied Chinese medicine or Taoist philosophy in depth.So in this episode, we will dive into some Yin-Yang theory so that you have a better understanding of this for your Yin Yoga classes, also for your movement-based (Yang) classes, and for classes that are a blend of Yin-Yang.Yoga Teachers: Join The Waitlist for my Therapeutic Yin Yoga Training at the bottom and top of the PageTo Join my Yin Yoga Classes on ZoomTo subscribe to my On-Demand Video Library:Full Show NotesAnatomy for Yoga with Paul GrilleyHang Drum Music by Fred Westra

S 1 | EP. 0Welcome to the pilot of A Yin Yoga Podcast.If we haven’t yet, I’m your host Nyk Danu.I am a yoga therapist, Yin Yoga Teacher Trainer, and a Yoga business mentor, and I also teach public yoga classes.So that's me in brief. In this pilot episode, I just wanted this one to be a little. HeyHere's the podcast. Here's what you can expect here.These are also available on video if you would prefer to watch rather than listen to them. https://youtu.be/CW1cdHjp_OQThere will be solo episodes, and longer format interviews with other Yin Yoga teachers, well as experts in the areas of anatomy and Traditional Chinese medicine including meridian or channel theory, the elements. Taoist philosophy, meditation, teaching tips and a lot more.My intention for this podcast is for it to feel like I’m sitting down having tea and sharing with you.  And when we have guest, like it's a couple of Yoga teachers sitting around the kitchen table with you, having some tea.You can expect these episodes to be Low-fi, uncensored and unfiltered this is a conscious choice.I think we have far too much polish and filter in our world in general, and of course, the Yoga world has fallen prey to that as well.I tend to be a bit informal and delightfully imperfect, so these episodes will be as well.You can also expect adult conversations and adult language.In this podcast when I interview people, they will be sharing their pre-yoga story, their Yoga origin stories, where they have come from and how they came to yoga, and sometimes in those stories, there can sensitive and intense subject matter.Please know that if you are currently healing your trauma and you're gonna find conversations where people might be discussing their trauma too much for you right now then check the show notes for content warnings.So if you're looking for some real honest, heartfelt conversations, plenty of yin yoga education, and a place to geek out about all things Yin yoga then you are in the right place.
