If a yoga cue makes your body feel like it’s a crime scene… (yes let’s be a bit dramatic…) …it’s not because your body is doing it wrong. It’s because the cue was built for a standardized, rigid template that never factored in human variance, trauma, or neurodivergence. šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’ØšŸ« 

ā€œSquare your hipsā€ or ā€œopen your heartā€ often sounds harmless, but to a nervous system that’s spent a lifetime overriding its own signals to fit a mold, it’s just another form of self-abandonment disguised as alignment. I have been adding more introspective cues into my teachings for years… inviting my peers to just simply FIND WHAT WORKS FOR THEM. And allow them to explore their edge. Whether physical, mental or emotional. It’s all completely valid.

What’s a cue you’ve heard in a class that made you want to walk right out? Let’s talk about it in the comments. šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’ØšŸ™šŸ½

Understanding Compression & Tension is one of our major goals inside the YIN training. We talk about how the angle of the pelvis affects foot positioning and explain femoral neck compression—a hard roadblock that no amount of practice can change.

Also… how this doesn’t just happen in the hips… it happens at just about any joint. Skeletal variation can help us learn to cue better and hold space for our students.

Certification shouldn't be one-size-fits-all. Three clear pathways designed for different capacities, schedules, and mentorship needs:

Online Certification ($555): Self-paced online curriculum covering philosophy, nervous system education, and ethics, paired with 10 weeks of cohort Zoom calls.

Hybrid Certification ($2,000): Full online curriculum combined with 4 in-person Sunday intensives (somatic alignment, subtle body frameworks, relational somatics, and ethical seat of the teacher), live assessment, and group practicums.

Certification + Mentorship ($3,000): Everything in Hybrid, plus 4 monthly 1:1 in-person mentorship sessions, priority feedback, and unlimited studio classes during training.

Cohort begins September 20. Learn more about each option at

What if I told you…. MOST of what we call ā€œtightnessā€ isn’t actually a muscle problem. It’s a nervous system signal stored in your fascia.

In YIN yoga, we hold shapes for 3-5 minutes, and we aren’t just pulling on tissue. We are signaling the nervous system to down-regulate, allowing the plastic-like fascia to actually remodel. THIS is where somatic liberation happens. It’s not about how deep the pose looks, it’s more about how clearly you can track the sensation of the PRANAMAYA KOSHA (your energetic body) shifting out of fight of flight.

Precision matters more than performance.

How does your breath change when you stop trying to ā€œwinā€ the pos and start actually listening to the tissue? šŸ¤”
