This full body yin yoga class is fantastic to release your hips, open your chest and release your spine. Long held yin poses like shoelace pose, repeated with variations through the class, heart openers like heart melting pose and seal will open your chest and reclined twists will release your spine and back.
When we practice yin yoga we are asked to let go of the instant access to poses and stay for awhile in the pose. In fact there are no poses to achieve, the practice is much more about the internal felt sense of the practice than the external aesthetic look of the poses. With yin yoga, we are asked to take residence in our body.
When we let go of the immediacy of the attention economy we are asked to stop trying to turn yoga into a transaction where you have instant access to everything and anything and instead become curious about the process as it unfolds. Letting go of the transactional exchange where you determine the value based on how much you can get and how fast you can get the desired results, you instead open to what your body may reveal to you over time.

pro trick: you can watch series at flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies these days.

I am slowing down like the cows. So true how it is important to slow down, I love all that is slow, just like this wonderful practice and your words are so wise and true! I did feel uncomfortable for you though, those big pebbles must have been quite sore at times, but thanks for picking such a natural spot and the sounds of the waves was so soothing as well as those seals I could hear in the back ground. You and Tim always deliver such high quality videos, many thanks to you both and sending light and peace your way, have a beautiful day!

[@drmelissawest]

[@queenofdataheads]

@@drmelissawest my hubs is from there. We have visited several times. Kudos to you for enduring the little pests on your ankles. I talked about your class on my GottaLoveYoga fb page. You might want to take a look.
