Our minds are meant to think, that’s their job (they are amazing!). But sometimes those thoughts begin to loop, repeat, spiral, worry, or wander far into the past or the imagined future. And before we know it, our thoughts are creating stress and tension that we can actually feel in our bodies. The funny thing is… most of these thoughts aren’t even real. They’re stories, predictions, memories and assumptions.
This is where meditation becomes so powerful. Meditation doesn’t try to stop the thoughts (that’s impossible!), instead it teaches us to create space around them. To pause. To breathe. To notice the thought without riding the wild rollercoaster it wants to take us on.
Have you tried meditation?
Or does it feel impossible?
We get it! This is why we call Yin Yoga the gateway to meditation.
Because for many of us, sitting still right away can feel overwhelming and cause even more anxiety. Yin gives us something to do while we practice being present… long, slow holds, gentle breath, feeling into our bodies NOW. Its meditation, but with a little more support.
