Teaching Yin Yoga in a Yang way

Dr. Karina Smith Podcast

Language, pace, and how to set up an environment that is conducive for a deep and quiet practice.

Sometimes at the beginning of a yin yoga teaching journey we can bring all of our yang yoga language in with us, but the action based language of yang yoga does not really support the passivity and vibration of yin yoga.

Part of the teaching journey is therefore to slowly review our words and the pace in which we speak in order to match the energy of the room that we are teaching.
