Yin Yoga: The Power of Stillness and Surrender

In this nourishing and timely episode of Deepen Your Yoga Practice, Lauren Leduc guides you into the spacious world of Yin Yoga—a gentle, meditative practice designed to cultivate stillness, surrender, and deep awareness.

As we shift into the more introspective yin season of the year, Lauren explores how yin yoga can support your nervous system, balance an active lifestyle, and help you reconnect with your inner landscape.

You’ll learn about the roots and philosophy of yin, its physical and energetic benefits, how it differs from restorative yoga, and how to create a sustainable yin practice both at home and in the studio.

✨ Topics include:

• The Taoist and yogic influences behind Yin Yoga

• What happens in a typical yin class

• Yin vs. Restorative: key differences

• Meridian theory, chi, and chakra integration

• Yin for athletes, creatives, and burned-out humans

• How yin supports emotional processing and spiritual connection

• Simple yin poses to try at home
