I just wanted to share my love story with Yoga Yin 🤍

I (41F) have always been sporty and active with a hyper, intense, impulsive personality also struggling with overthinking issues... Constantly trying to channel my messy brain and working a lot on myself! With some personal work, years and life experiences, i slowly learned how to be more peaceful and tolerant but still far from any true wisdom or full self-control!

During Covid, i got stuck overseas in basic conditions with a new partner and far from my life... I was in survival mode and held the depression. I lost motivation to practice any activity and was totally sedentary for 2 years.

When life slowly came back to normal i tried to find some motivation again and forced myself to do simple training but it was awful... Then a few months ago i randomly installed a yoga app and started with the basics of Vinyasa and Ashtanga. I am not flexible and lost all my strength so it was hard, but i enjoyed learning and rapidly started to feel some improvements :) And then, by chance, while checking the other options on the App i discovered Yoga Yin and it was immediately a perfect match!

I am a beginner and train myself alone at home with an App so i don't know about any technical vocabulary, scientific explanation or so... But Yin is for me something truly incredible! It reduced the stiffness in my whole body (i got extremely stiff with back pain since lockdown) and it achieves amazing results with my brain. I struggle to meditate properly but during a Yin session i get into this kind of meditation stage, naturally and easily, my mind simply disconnects. It feels like with each hold, when i release the tension, i also release some hormones which purifies my body and brain! I do 1 hour right out of the bed in the morning and another session in the late afternoon. During the day i also do another 40min of Vinyasa or Ashtanga (for the cardio and strength). And whenever i feel losing myself and start to overthink and be gloomy, i just throw a 15-30min session of Yin and i'm all cleanse! I hope it will last because for now it's purely magical and i never felt so much balanced and peaceful...

Voila, i just wanted to share this... 🙏
