Hey friends, I'm back with a new Yin Yoga class all about the meridians! This one is focusing on two upper body meridians, the heart and lungs.
This 45 minute Yin Yoga class will release tension and stiffness in your upper body. The poses will target the chest, upper back, arms and shoulders. You'll need two blocks for this practice!
What is Yin Yoga? Yin yoga is often called the Yoga of the joints because unlike other styles of yoga, the emphasis is not on the muscles but on the deep connective tissue. Connective tissue is made up of fascia, ligaments and tendons which surround and form your joints. Yin yoga improves the range of motion in your joints and also strengthens them. The results and benefits are more flexibility and greater range of motion and also more stability within your joints. Although your muscles will also be stretched, that is not the focus of the practice. It is best to practice yin yoga while your muscles are cold and NOT warmed up, even if that sounds counter intuitive. The reason we do this is so that we can send the "stress" and the "Stretch" to the connective tissues. If the muscles are warm they will steal the focus away from the joints.
There are 3 principles of Yin Yoga.
1. Find your edge
2. Be still
3. Hold the pose
Find your edge means respecting your body's limits and not pushing too far and risking injury. Pull back a little bit and as you hold the pose you will be able to go deeper into it without pushing too far or hurting yourself.
Being still means that once you are in the pose it is important to completely relax your muscles so the benefits can get into the connective tissues and joints. Try not to fidget or move or distract yourself, this is a meditative practice. Breathe deeply in and out through the nose.
Holding the pose means that in Yin Yoga a pose can be held for 1-10 minutes depending on the pose performed and on the comfort level of the student. I usually teach poses held for around 4-5 minutes. Learn to surrender and keep a timer close by if needed.
Use as many props as needed in Yin Yoga! Blocks, bolsters and straps are all great ways to support your body to make sure you are respecting your edge and not going too far.

A Easy But Effective Guide To Lose Fat After 30, 40, 50 and Above
A workout that you like and that is fun is one that will probably work best for you. If you build a good routine it will make your workout easier to do and harder to resist. Now you can create your own successful exercise program with these great ideas.
You can enhance your workout by adding music. Your favorite tunes can be powerful motivational assistants that help you power through your exercise. People seem wired to get up and move when they hear music, and taking advantage of that for weight loss purposes is a no-brainer. You may just forget that you are exercising once you get into the music and start dancing.
Getting fit is twice as easy if you have a friend along. To help the time fly when you work out, strike up a conversation with your companion or a fellow gym member. Soon, you will both realize the weight is coming off, and this will keep you motivated to stick with each other to keep the process moving in the right direction.
A new way to get in the exercise you need but still having fun while doing it is by doing workouts offered as video games. It is easy to forget you are exercising when you are playing a game and having a good time. You will find yourself less likely to quit, give up or stop.
Get work out gear you feel you look good in if you decide to develop a fitness plan. Wearing some worn-out sweats can kill your motivation to exercise. When you can't wait to get dressed for exercise, it is incredibly motivating.
If you're bored, change it up and try something else. Boredom is one of the top reasons that people abandon their exercise routines and quit their fitness regimens entirely. Mixing things up will help you maintain your enthusiasm. Switch up the music or maybe even change your routine. If you keep your eyes open you should be able to find interesting ways to liven up your workout.
When you attain one objective, give yourself a little treat. That will motivate you to move on to your next objective and your ultimate goal. Choosing something special like a new top will be a great way to reward yourself for sticking to your fitness plan. Choose rewards that are healthy, easy to access and that won't set you back. Remember not to compromise yourself by eating a whole cheesecake as a reward! Opt for fat-free or low-fat food options if you are going to reward yourself with food. The thought of the reward must be enough to help you stay motivated and active.
Exercising does not have to be a chore. There are many ways to make working out one of the best parts of your day. Here are a few tips that will add some excitement and fun into your exercise routine.
