Yin and Yang Yoga
Yin and Yang yoga is a Taoist earth honoring tradition born out of the indigenous health practices and spiritual philosophies of ancient China. Taoist principles follow the way of simplicity and living in harmony with nature. Taoist yoga draws upon the theory of the five transforming elemental energies that is used in Chinese medicine and alchemy.
Yin and Yang yoga practices specific postures to invoke the spiritual attributes of various creatures, both real and mythical, and to activate the transformational properties of the alchemical elements, thus enlivening and harmonizing these energies within the body and animating the primal spirit that resides within us all.
Integrating the power and healing aspects of these principles will help to balance emotions and put one into accord with the true nature of our being. By returning to the source, the state of unitive consciousness, we realize our interconnection with the infinite creativity that informs all life. Through this process of renewal and awakening we can generate positive change and personal effectiveness in our lives.
