Join acclaimed yoga teacher Melina Meza for a 4-part practice series harnessing the profound therapeutic potential of Yin Yoga to restore stillness and inner calm.
Learn how to create the conditions necessary for your nervous system to reset, restore, and reintegrate as a powerful antidote to the constant overload of experiences and impressions of modern life.
Learn how to harness the power of Yin Yoga to create a sense of safety and groundedness that allows your nervous system to shift from its habitual states of activation into the parasympathetic response necessary for healing.
Unlike dynamic forms of yoga that work primarily with muscle tissue, yin yoga targets your connective tissue—the fascia, ligaments, and tendons that form the body’s supportive matrix.
More significantly, this approach recognizes that your connective tissue serves as a repository for emotional and energetic patterns, holding memories and tensions that conscious movement alone cannot always access.
Understanding Your Fascia as Emotional Memory
Your fascial network represents far more than structural support; it functions as a sophisticated information storage and communication system throughout your body. When you experience stress, trauma, or intense emotions, your fascia can contract and harden around these experiences, creating what might be called “body memories” that persist long after the original event has passed.
This series teaches you to work with your fascia through extended holds in passive postures, allowing time for these deeper layers of tissue to release and reorganize. By holding poses for 3-7 minutes or longer, you move beyond the superficial muscle layers into the realm where transformation occurs slowly and gently, without force or aggression.
The Science of Deep Rest and Healing
This series is grounded in understanding how your autonomic nervous system functions and what conditions are necessary for genuine healing to occur. When we are caught in chronic patterns of stress or hypervigilance, our sympathetic nervous system remains activated, making it difficult for our body to engage in the repair and restoration processes that occur during parasympathetic dominance.
Yin Yoga specifically supports the shift into parasympathetic activation through several mechanisms: The extended holds signal safety to your nervous system and the meditative quality of the practice helps quiet mental chatter that might otherwise maintain states of activation.
