This Yin Yoga series was created to help you soften into the deeper layers of your body, fascia, and energy system. Each practice is organized by energy center (chakra), offering a gentle way to work with the physical, emotional, and subtle spaces that are asking for attention. We move through 15 postures, each with variations so you can meet yourself exactly as you are - without force, without striving. This practice is part of a wider conversation with yoga instructor Daniel Castro on Open Heart, where we explore the body as a living memory field and the ways stillness can unlock healing, intuition, and emotional release. Rather than following a rigid sequence, this series invites intuition. Your body already carries its own intelligence. Trust it.
HOW TO USE THIS SERIES
1. Choose 4–6 postures Let your intuition lead. You can: Select one posture per chakra for a full-system reset or Stay with one energy center if something feels tender, activated, or simply present There is no right way — only what feels true in your body today.
2. Hold each posture long enough to reach the fascia
• Beginners: 1–2 minutes (fascia release begins around 90 seconds)
• Traditional Yin: 3–5 minutes
Soften into the hold. Let the effort fall away. Give your fascia space to unwind at its own pace.
3. Repeat on both sides For unilateral shapes (twists, hip openers, side-body work), repeat on the opposite side to restore balance.
4. Listen closely to your body Yin is a quiet conversation. Find the place where sensation is present but your nervous system remains steady — the space between ease and effort, where healing can happen without strain.
5. Expect more than a physical release As fascia unwinds, you may notice:
• Emotions rising
• Old memories surfacing
• Energy shifting
• Waves of relief or opening
