Effort and ease — both belong in yoga.

In Vinyasa we meet movement, strength, and rhythm.
In Yin we meet stillness, sensation, and listening.

The practice isn’t about choosing one over the other — it’s about learning when to soften and when to engage.

This balance shows up not just on the mat, but in how we teach, rest, work, and live.

Where are you holding too much… and where could you soften today?

Function Over Form in Sphinx & Seal

From a functional anatomy & Yin Yoga perspective, the difference between legs together or legs wider in Sphinx & Seal comes down to how the pelvis, sacrum, & lumbar spine interact under passive load.

When the legs are together, the femurs tend to internally rotate slightly. For some bodies, this can encourage an anterior pelvic tilt, increasing compression in the lumbar spine, particularly at L4–L5 & L5–S1. In more Yang Yoga practices, muscular engagement can help regulate this.

When the legs are wider, the femurs externally rotate. This often allows the pelvis to settle more evenly, the sacrum to broaden, & the lumbar curve to distribute load across a wider area. Functionally, this can reduce localized compression in the lower back & create a sense of spaciousness rather than pinching.

In Yin Yoga, because we are:
● holding the pose passively
● stay for longer periods
● intentionally loading connective tissue rather than actively stabilising with muscle

We favour variations that reduce compression & encourage even stress distribution. A wider leg position is one way to do that for many students, though not all.

This is why Yin emphasises individual function over fixed alignment. Some bodies feel better with the legs closer together, others wider. The sensation in the lower back is the best guide.

There is no single “correct” version, only the version that allows the spine to be loaded without pain or guarding.

Yoga doesn’t remove your triggers.
It teaches you how to recognise them, stay with them, & choose differently, over time.

This isn’t about always being calm.
Or fixed.
Or spiritually polished.

It’s about building capacity.
Learning repair.
& staying present inside real life.

Not fixing life, supporting how we live it.

The shala supports yoga practice & teacher training by offering a grounded space to arrive fully, settle the nervous system, & practice with intention.

24/12/2025

Teacher training at Akira Yoga is intentionally taught at a slower pace.
Time is given for study, reflection, & embodied practice so learning can settle beyond theory & into lived understanding.

Our Yin Yoga teacher trainings in Bali integrate practice, Chinese Medicine principles, & nervous system awareness, allowing students to absorb information through experience.

Held on the quiet island of Nusa Lembongan, the environment itself supports focus, presence, & deeper integration over time.

Just like that… our December Vinyasa & Yin 200hr & Yin Yoga 100hr cohort completed their journey together on this little island.

Twenty-six days for the 200 hr & 12 days for the 100 hr......of breath, stillness, sweat, laughter, early mornings, note-taking, ocean swims, shared meals, & the quiet moments in between where the real learning took root.

What I love most about this training is watching how different paths weave into one community.

Some arrived for strength.
Some for softness.
Some for curiosity.
Some simply to remember themselves.

By the final day, every single one found something they didn’t know they’d been looking for.

To our trainees huge squeezes & thank you for showing up with honesty, humour, courage, & heart. Watching you explore your voice, hold space for each other, & step into teaching was a privilege.

May you carry this practice with you gently,
in your body, in your breath, in your choices,
& in the way you move through the world.

The Yoga Garden Lembongan is proud of you.
Akira Yoga is proud of you, & this island will always hold a piece of your story. The Yoga Garden Lembongan 💛

Connection is part of the curriculum.

Our Yoga trainings in Bali are designed to be comprehensive & grounded, with space built in for connection to land, water, people, & yourself.

Days are spent studying through practice, touch, discussion & embodied experience, & in between, connection continues in quieter ways.

Paddle boarding at sunset.
Snorkelling over reefs.
Ocean swims, surf lessons, island hops.
Shared meals, restaurant evenings...

These moments aren’t “extras.”
They create the conditions where learning settles, where trust forms, bodies soften, & understanding deepens beyond technique.

Connection to the body.
Connection to each other.
Connection to the island that holds the process.

When the hips resist or feel heavy, it’s not always about flexibility — it’s often the body protecting what once needed time.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the hips relate to the Kidneys (Water) & Liver (Wood), where fear, survival patterns & unexpressed emotion can settle. When Qi loses its downward flow or becomes constrained, the pelvis becomes a place of quiet protection rather than movement.

Through Yin Yoga & TCM, we invite energy to descend & reorganise.
Using long-held postures alongside Meridian Myofascial Massage, MyoYin & AcuYin, we create the conditions for tension to begin to unravel — restoring grounding, ease & connection.

This approach is explored in depth within our accredited Bali Yin & TCM Teacher Trainings, where theory meets embodied practice.

If you’re drawn to this work, our trainings offer a deep exploration of how emotion, energy & anatomy meet — on & off the mat.

Why We Chose This Island for Our 3-Day Breathwork & Meditation Program

There’s something about Nusa Lembongan that changes the way you breathe the moment you arrive.

The air feels softer, the ocean is close enough to quiet the mind without trying, & life moves at a pace that lets your nervous system finally exhale.

Over three days, we gather in a space that overlooks the gardens, the sky, & the steady rhythm of island life. It’s simple, calm, grounding, & the perfect place for reconnecting with your breath & finding clarity again.

This program is for anyone who wants to slow down, reset, or go a little deeper into themselves. Whether you’re joining to enhance previous teacher trainings or simply giving yourself a few days of space, you’ll be held with care.

If your body’s been asking for a pause, this might be the moment to honour it.

Breathe with us at The Yoga Garden Lembongan.
This island really does support the practice.

When the Path Isn’t Clear, Keep Moving With Intention

Sometimes direction isn’t a straight line,
it’s a quiet pull, a soft shift, a moment where something inside whispers, “this way.”

Growth doesn’t always arrive with certainty.
Often it’s a feeling in the body before the mind catches up.
A loosening in the breath.
A sense of space returning.
A small, steady yes.

Whether you’re stepping onto the mat, choosing a new path, or leaving an old version of yourself behind…
you don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just need to take the next honest step.

At The Yoga Garden Lembongan, Bali, we guide students to trust their inner compass, through Yin, Vinyasa, energetics, fascia, meridians, breath, stillness, & the wisdom that rises when the body finally feels safe again.

Direction isn’t found. It’s felt, & once you feel it, the whole path begins to open.
