    NEW POST: “Wait… what is Yin Yoga?” Yin is slow, still, and surprisingly deep. We hold poses for a few minutes—not to stretch muscles, but to gently work the joints, fascia, and energy lines. It’s not a workout… it’s a softening. “So… is it like restorative yoga?” They look similar, but feel very different. In restorative, the body is fully supported and resting. In Yin, we invite some sensation—just enough to wake up the tissue and energy. Still slow, still grounded—but definitely more active in its stillness. “Where does this practice come from?” Yin is rooted in Daoist philosophy and Traditional Chinese Medicine. It’s all about balance—yin and yang, the five elements, and the flow of Chi (energy) through meridians. The modern version was shaped by Paul Grilley and Sarah Powers in the ’90s. It’s East-meets-West in the best way. Three simple principles: Find your edge Be still Stay for time That’s it. No fancy poses. No pushing. Just you, your breath, and what rises up in the quiet. “What’s it good for?” Honestly… so much: Mobility & joint health Emotional release (yep, tissues hold memories) Calming the nervous system Rebalancing your energy Yin gives your body and mind space to digest life. “But I’m not flexible…” Perfect. You don’t need to be bendy—Yin meets you exactly where you are. We adapt poses for your body, not the other way around. I’ve even taught Yin to folks in chairs and beds. Energy flows where attention goes. “Do I need special props?” Nope. A mat, a cushion, maybe a blanket. Or your sofa… Yin isn’t about the setup—it’s about the pause. (Though I’m a fan of turning household stuff into props. Dining chairs? (ahhaha the kitchen sink!) Curious? Come try a class. If you’ve been craving stillness, depth, or just a new way to be with your body—this might be it. And hey—don’t worry if your mind is chatty or your hamstrings tight. That’s why we practice.

    @anirudh-42 The gut microbiome holds the key to your health. Fermented foods are great for your gut. And of course, fiber; the gut bacteria love fiber rich foods. You can observe differences in symptoms like less bloating and acidity. You would also feel more energetic and focused since the gut and brain are connected.

    Hi @pankaj Yes, omega-3 helps with cholesterol levels. The other thing you can include in your diet is fiber rich foods like more of vegetables, whole grains and lentils.

    @manas-9 Great question… Yoga can be incredibly beneficial for marathon runners, helping with flexibility, strength, balance, breathing efficiency, and recovery. Here are a few types of yoga lessons that are particularly good for marathon runners: Hatha Yoga: This is a great starting point as it typically involves holding poses for a few breaths, allowing runners to focus on stretching and alignment. It’s generally slower-paced, which can be beneficial for tight muscles. Vinyasa Yoga (Flow Yoga): Vinyasa links breath with movement, creating a flowing sequence of poses. This can help improve cardiovascular fitness, build strength, and increase flexibility dynamically. Runners might prefer a slower-paced Vinyasa class to ensure proper form and avoid overexertion, especially during peak training. Yin Yoga: This style involves holding passive poses for longer periods (typically 3-5 minutes or more). Yin yoga targets the deep connective tissues, like ligaments and fascia, which can become very tight in runners. It’s excellent for increasing flexibility and promoting relaxation. This is particularly good for rest and recovery days. Restorative Yoga: As the name suggests, this type of yoga focuses on deep relaxation and rejuvenation. It uses props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks to support the body in comfortable poses, allowing for complete release of tension. Restorative yoga is ideal for recovery, reducing stress, and calming the nervous system, all crucial for marathon runners.

    Here’s another powerful transformation story from Manickam, a member of our community: Like a lot of people, I wasn’t a ‘yoga person’ at all. My wife had been on me for months to try a class. I walked and swam, thought I was doing enough, but my health numbers told a different story. My Transformation: Pre-Yoga: Reluctant, skeptical, relying on other exercises with numbers not improving. The Solution: Personalized yoga with @tch-umesh-2 and group classes with Ravin, Ankit, and Priyanka at MyYogaTeacher. The Results: Became a yoga enthusiast, improved overall well-being, and stress relief. "To be honest, I wasn’t a ‘yoga person’ at all. My wife had been on me for months to try a class. I walked and swam, thought I was doing enough, but my health numbers told a different story. Finally, I gave in and tried the free lessons at MyYogaTeacher. That’s where I met Umesh. What struck me was his teaching style. It wasn’t just about the poses; it was the encouragement, the way he made it feel achievable. I signed up for three months of 1-on-1s with him, and that was two years ago. Two years! And I’ve barely missed a day since. It’s not just Umesh, though. I’ve also been in group classes with @tch-arya-1,Ankit and Priyanka. They’re all fantastic. They create this incredibly welcoming, calming atmosphere where you feel safe to explore your own practice, at your own speed. What I appreciate most is the focus on relaxation and mindfulness. It’s not just a workout; it’s a way to quiet your mind. I leave each class feeling refreshed, de-stressed, and centered. It’s hard to explain, but it’s like hitting a reset button. And the flexibility! That’s been the biggest surprise. I’m doing poses now I never thought possible. It’s not just in yoga, either. I move easier in everyday life. I’m stronger, too, and I owe a lot of that to the instructors at MyYogaTeacher. They’ve really changed things for me. I’m incredibly thankful." Let’s all celebrate Manickam’s incredible progress and the hope her story offers to so many!

    Myth: Yoga is just a fancy form of stretching. While increased flexibility is definitely a benefit, yoga is so much more! It integrates breath work (pranayama), strength building, balance, mindfulness, and even philosophy. It’s a holistic practice that engages your mind, body, and spirit. What’s a benefit of yoga you’ve experienced that goes beyond just stretching?
