“The subtle body is the gatekeeper between the physical and the spiritual body. Yin Yoga is conditioning training for the subtle body. In order to balance our subtle body, we need to quiet the mind and the nervous system. If we move a lot in yoga practice, it can be quite hard to sense the inner shifts and your limitations—it’s easy to wind up listening to your mind rather than your body. Yin Yoga gives you the stillness needed to really listen to the body and to move into spirit, which is all that you are.”
