Mia and Elliott Van Veen Loeb (and Figgy's) yin blog for Love Light Yoga, 2024 “I like Sundays because then we see Danielle and I can fall asleep next to my mum on the yoga mat with lots of blankets and our Yinnie dog Figgy. Danielle’s voice is nice to fall asleep to. One day I want to make a yin children’s book with my mama because I think more kids would appreciate experiencing it.” — Elliott, 8 “She has onyx eyes!” — Mia, 29 (Hospital) Mia: In one of the earliest yoga classes after Elliott was born, her and I laughed together on the yoga mat while we moved from one pose to the next. It was ..read more

My experience of the Yin Yoga Immersion was profound and, at the same time, very subtle. I had no expectations as to how I would feel after a yin session but the day after the first class I awoke feeling deeply changed. It was as though a heavy blanket I had been under was removed – when, I don’t know, it just wasn’t there anymore. The blanket symbolized a sense of heaviness I had been feeling about my life and that morning I felt so much lighter for no logical reason - my material circumstances had not changed but something within had and was radiating a new energy outward. I believe part of ..read more

Reflecting on Yin and its presence in my life, I am drawn to the fall of 2020. Almost a year since my sister left her body due to severe illness and barely six months since dolphins began swimming in the canals of Venice because the world had stopped. These weren’t my first yin classes in candle lit studios many years ago, where I fell asleep on mats and pillows many people had touched. Rather, this yin came to me. Trapped in my house on a mountain of pillows, wading through multifaceted grief, by the glow of a screen. Here I found nervous system unwinding I hadn’t felt in years. I found commu ..read more

LLY Home Yin is a feline family affair. With downward cat-on-the-mat, maybe a cat-cow, certainly a feline supine twist. The fringe benefit of virtual yoga for me has been the Level Up Vybz of set up yin the comfort of my Bungalow living room. Cozy socks and a shawl would accompany me to in-person class ... online yinning has me with candles & fireplace lit, layers of family quilts propping the ease of long holds, special medicine teas from my garden apothecary & the company of Stanley & Ashleigh, stretch out on my left stretch out on my right, sharing their sound healing cat purrs ..read more

Because of the work that I've done with Danielle, I now take relaxation very seriously. Before the first session I attended with her back in 2010, I found myself frustrated by yoga classes that seemed to be more about recreation or athletic skill-building, than building an integrated physical and spiritual practice. I had no idea that what I was looking for was permission to relax, breathe into poses, and take my time. I found that by going slowly and integrating a relaxing practice, I almost immediately had more energy to push myself on my bicycle, and in my daily life. It seemed so counter ..read more
