I didn’t always like Yin.
I felt uncomfortable with the passive way I experienced it. It just didn’t resonate.
One of my first teaching gigs in Reykjavík was actually subbing for a Yin teacher, and I hadn’t even completed a single Yin training myself.
I remember scrolling the internet, looking at different asanas.
But I think the main problem was that I simply hadn’t practiced it that much. I’d been to a few Yin classes and thought, it’s just nice, passive stretching.
If I’m honest, I found it boring.
The classes actually went great. I offered more movement than what maybe traditional Yin Yoga has (something I still do today), and I realised how much I loved the resonance of stillness.
Yin Yoga has continued to evolve for me. It has never been just one thing. Yes, you learn stillness.
But you also learn the movement of life.
Energy. Qi. Yourself.
Teaching it opens space for intuition, for feeling the room, and for co-creating with the students.
And in the silence, the words the teacher chooses become that much more important.
I sit with the label Yin a lot.
The thing is, Yin always comes with Yang. You know the symbol right?
Sometimes even the term Yin Yoga feels limiting, because it’s all relative. It’s all relationship.
And this is why we created Lunar Yin.
Because your body isn’t linear. We are cyclical, fluid creatures. There isn’t a single straight line in nature, or in our bodies.
I believe we were always meant to be honoured in our own experience.
Dreaming of teaching?
Come join our 100HR Lunar Yin Yoga Teacher Training, starting this September.
An extensive curriculum that expands far beyond the “traditional,” while deeply honouring its roots.
