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.

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
