( plow )
A generally overlooked asan, this gentle + sweet surrendering pose holds such deep value and beauty full regulation qualities.
In plow, you may experience vagal nerve stimulation just from the gorgeous architecture of this shape. And this produces blood pressure drop + baroreceptor activation.
From the bhanda, namely jalandhara, there is supportive compression of the thyroid and parathyroids. Stimulation of this increases immunity + metabolism.
The pose also, just by its shape, supports the elongation of the posterior chain, a biomechanics fascial flossing + floating; literally from toes to head. A delightful decompression, counter-posing commute and daily sitting performance.
Via inversion, this gentle shoulder stand supports a paradoxical clarity and a neuro calm of which the brain benefits deeply in this succinct meditation.
Your core will awaken.
The approach is gentle.
The hold is sweet.
Halasana.
The plow proves purposeful + peaceful with a mindful, caring approach.

( Yin )
“The language of Yin permits, an orbit of wonderment towards this permission of discovery”
“Yin is truly a practice explored and taught and becomes discovery. This forum is for self observation open and invited. It is a natural gateway of relation and relational awareness. This is as poignant as spatial awareness. Within this still and quiet yet loud and revealing practice, behavior and effect sometimes entertain a straight line approach to outcome, however, when we become more aware and mindful of the medicine of these contemplative practices of yoga, we arrive in magnificent spectrum. A growing sensitivity impacts our actions in our practice and our practice evolves to and with the subtle consequences of these discoveries.
We make connections that our actions affect our bodies and our minds.”
Should these thoughts, insights and words inspire you - reach out!
The yin education in the Stretch Method TM is arriving.
