"This yin yoga practice focuses on releasing the physical as well as emotional tension you're holding in your hips. The sequence of yin yoga poses can help you find some space to relax the physical body and help you explore a little more of the emotional body associated with your sacral chakra or svadisthana. From an emotional and energetic lens, this part of the body has everything to do with themes of creativity, passion, pleasure,"
"The sacral chakra is located in the pelvis, lower than the belly button and above the pubic bone. If you choose not to take the concept of the chakras literally, the yin yoga class can still connect you with yourself and your physical body. Yin yoga is based on three principles. First, you find your edge in terms of intensity without pushing yourself too far or chasing extreme sensation. Second, you find stillness. And third, you stay in the pose for time,"
The practice focuses on releasing physical and emotional tension held in the hips and sacral chakra, linked to creativity, passion, pleasure, and sensuality. It pairs hip-opening yin yoga poses with affirmations to probe emotional responses without forcing belief in chakra concepts. Yin yoga emphasizes finding an edge without overexertion, cultivating stillness, and holding poses for three to five minutes. Props such as blocks, pillows, folded blankets, or bolsters provide support and accessible variations. Affirmations are repeated while observing immediate bodily or mental reactions; resistance or tension signals areas that may need further exploration or healing.
