THE ART OF YIN 🤍

Back in June, I started the next part of my learning and training in Functional Yin with Grace | Functional Yoga & Body Psychotherapy Trainer

I knew how much I was drawn to it. I just had no idea how much I was going to need it.

Only a few weeks after that first in-person weekend, we so tragically and suddenly lost my beautiful nephew, Aaron 🤍🦋(21). Our family has been thrown into a depth of shock and grief that none of us could ever have prepared for.

Yin isn’t only about stretching muscles. Longer, supported holds work into the deeper connective tissues and fascia, giving the body time and space to respond and soften to what is being held there.

It’s not about how far you can go. It’s about what happens when you stay. Meeting your edge in a targeted area, meeting the physical and emotional tension that’s there, and staying without needing to push past it.

Then, comes the rebound, after every hold. That stillness after the hold where nothing is being asked of you. You notice, feel and allow the body time to integrate. Sometimes that quiet space can tell you more than the hold itself.

My body hasn’t had capacity for very much lately. Apart from slowly returning to some weights, movement has mostly been a few Yin holds my body seems to ask for. Somewhere to meet the tension, grief, sadness and shock without trying to change it or move it on. Just staying. Breathing. Feeling.

Yin can meet us physically, energetically, emotionally and spiritually, through fascia, meridians, stillness, surrender and listening.

For me, Yin is becoming less about something I do and much more about something I feel.

I don’t believe YIN came into my life by coincidence or chance. Somehow it arrived at exactly the right time, before I could have known how much I was going to need it.

I thought I was learning something I would eventually bring into my work and teach to others. I didn’t realise that first, life was going to ask me to live it.

Functional Yin already feels like part of my work, but more than that, part of who I am and how I meet myself now.

Another thread in the tapestry. 🤍

There comes a moment in healing where you realise you’ve been waiting to feel completely ready before allowing yourself to begin.

Ready to rest.
Ready to change.
Ready to say no.
Ready to choose yourself.
Ready to heal.

But healing rarely arrives wrapped in certainty. 🌿

A lot of us are carrying years of survival mode in their nervous system. Holding everything together. Pushing through exhaustion. Smiling while silently overwhelmed. Becoming so used to stress that peace almost feels unfamiliar.

And somewhere along the way, we start believing we need to have every answer before we take the next step forward.

But you don’t.

You don’t need the perfect plan.
You don’t need to see the whole path.
You don’t need to become a completely different person overnight.

Sometimes moving forward looks like:
✨ finally listening to your body
✨ asking for support
✨ choosing rest without guilt
✨ nourishing yourself properly
✨ allowing yourself to slow down

And part of healing is also recognising where we’ve been waiting for other people to give us what we’ve been avoiding giving ourselves.

Love.
Rest.
Validation.
Care.
Permission to slow down.

Healing teaches us to stop living from expectation and start living from alignment. To soften the constant cycle of overgiving while secretly hoping someone will finally pour back into us.

True healing is learning how to receive without guilt… and how to become responsible for the energy, love and care we so freely give to everyone else. 🤍

Healing is not about having it all figured out.
It’s about softly returning home to yourself, one small step at a time. 🌿

Your gut does not just digest food.
It digests emotion too. 🌿

So many people are carrying:
unspoken anger,
suppressed emotion,
resentment,
pressure,
grief,
fear,
hypervigilance…

and the body keeps score.

The nervous system tightens.
Digestion slows.
Inflammation rises.
The liver becomes overloaded.
The body stays in protection instead of repair.

The solar plexus is deeply connected to:
✨ self-worth
✨ personal power
✨ emotion
✨ stress response
✨ digestive fire

When we constantly “hold it together,” the body eventually starts holding it physically too.

Bloating.
Tension.
Fatigue.
Gut issues.
Hormonal disruption.
Digestive discomfort.

Healing is not just about what you eat.
It’s also about:
what you suppress,
what you carry,
and what your body no longer feels safe enough to release.

The body was never designed to live in survival mode forever.

Regulate the nervous system.
Support the gut.
Release the emotional weight.
Create safety within the body.

That’s where true healing begins. 🌊

Perimenopause can feel like you are losing yourself.

The mood swings.
The poor sleep.
The anxiety.
The irritability.
The exhaustion.
The sense that your body suddenly feels unfamiliar.

It can be a deeply unsettling season.

But often, perimenopause is not just about hormones.
It can also uncover deeper depletion, nervous system overload, stress, gut issues, liver burden, and the emotional weight your body has been carrying for years.

This is why the support has to go deeper too.

Supporting the body through nourishment.
Supporting the nervous system through regulation.
Supporting the emotional body with space, care, and understanding.

Perimenopause is not the end of you.
It can be the beginning of coming back to yourself in a deeper, more honest way. 🌿

Muscle testing helps us listen to what the body is holding.

It can help uncover physical, emotional, and energetic imbalances that may be sitting underneath the symptoms.

✨️Physically, it can point us toward things like gut stress, liver overload, hormonal imbalance, nervous system dysregulation, food sensitivities, and nutritional needs.

✨️Emotionally, it can help uncover stored stress, unresolved experiences, inner conflict, and patterns the body is still carrying.

✨️Energetically, it can highlight depletion, imbalance, and where the system may need support to come back into balance.

The body is not broken.
It is communicating.
Muscle testing gives us a way to listen more deeply.
