✨ Yesterday evening I covered a gentle slow flow class for the wonderful at
Most of my teaching here in Ibiza is fiery dynamic, power vinyasa flows that move with the breath, usually in the mornings. So this class was a shift not only for the students, but for me too, an invitation to slow down.
I shared a little about Yin/Yang theory from Traditional Chinese Medicine at the beginning of the evening class:
☀️ Yang → our fire, linked with summer, the morning, heat, activity, and achieving goals.
🌙 Yin → our rest, connected to winter, the ocean, night time, and slowing down.
In modern life, Yang is often celebrated, the doing, the achieving. But our Yin side, the slowing down, is rarely acknowledged, even though it’s just as vital.
Our bodies are often stuck in a Yang state. Supporting Yin helps us return to balance.
Ways to nourish your Yin energy:
🌊 Swim in the sea, connect with the ocean.
🧘♀️ Practice slow or Yin yoga, moving mindfully and tuning in.
🕯 Evening meditation, soothing the nervous system into rest + digest.
A gentle reminder: slowing down is an achievement. 💙
