METTA TEACHER BRANDELYN CAMERON’S TESTIMONY OF HER YIN TRAINING JOURNEY

BRANDELYN is teaching the Thu 5:30pm Meditation Mindfulness + Yin

————————————————————————-

I remember the first time I attended a yin yoga class…it was awful. I couldn’t wait for it to be over. The class actually made me angry. 😂

It was a time in my life where everything was go-go-go. I was travelling often with work and the corporate hustle mentality ran deep within my veins.

The mere thought of sitting still, let alone ‘quieting the mind’ and holding poses in stillness for a 75 or 90 minute class, was downright terrifying.

It so much easier to push through the grind than it is to self reflect and actually deal with what’s no longer serving you.

I’ve come a long way since that first yin yoga class. I’ve realized that as much as I crave stimulation, stillness is just as beneficial - if not more some days.

2 years ago, I decided to deepen my knowledge of this once dreaded practice - and now I teach it! In a Bernie Clark style class, each posture focuses on a target area in the body. (Thanks so much Alan Mileham!)

There are 3 principles of yin yoga:
- To go to the point where you first create a dull sensation in the target area.
- To hold the posture in stillness
- To maintain that stillness (body and mind) for 3-5 minutes

When you learn to slow down and become the observer of your thoughts, rather than the thoughts themselves, that’s where the magic starts to happen. ✌️🤍

Meet me on your mat this Thursday at 5:30pm for a 75 minute meditation, mindfulness and yin class at Metta Yoga Calgary
