Inner Guru meeting point. Yoga Teacher Training School

18/12/2025

In winter, the body turns inward. Yin Yoga meets us there.

Winter is the season of the Water element. A time to slow down, rest, and turn inward. Yin Yoga helps us to listen more deeply to what’s happening beneath the surface.

Through long-held Yin poses, we work into the fascia and connective tissue, stimulating energy lines and inviting release where things feel stuck.

As the body softens, awareness deepens.

Emotions, sensations, and subtle truths begin to surface. What was hidden in the unconscious can slowly come into view.
The groin and inner legs are closely linked to the Water element. Yin postures that target this area can help to:
💧 Activate the Water element if it feels depleted
🌊 Pacify the Water element if it feels excessive

Yin poses to explore the Water element:
🧘‍♀️ Butterfly
🧘‍♀️ Happy Baby
🧘‍♀️ Dragonfly
🧘‍♀️ Outrigger

Remember: not every pose will suit every body. Sensation in the groin is the guide, not how a pose looks. Use bolsters, cushions, or blocks under the pelvis or knees as needed.

Yin is about sustainability, sensitivity, and listening — not chasing intensity.

Save this for your winter Yin practice.

Why Yin Yoga is the practice for Winter ❄

As we enter winter’s quiet embrace with longer nights, deeper stillness and more darkness, we naturally move into the most yin time of the year.

This season invites less stimulation, less pushing and more listening, resting, simply being.

Our bodies begin to crave stillness in a different way. Space. Slowness. Depth. This is where Yin Yoga becomes our most powerful ally.

Yin Yoga is a quiet practice that gently guides us inward:
✨ To marinate in long-held postures
🌙 To reconnect to our body
🪐 To release deep layers of tension & stress
⭐️ To soften away from the noise & pressure of the season

It is a practice of deep listening: to sensation, emotion, and the quieter truths beneath the
surface.

If you’d like to explore this stillness more deeply, you’re warmly invited to our upcoming Yin Masterclass: Returning to Your Truth. A class designed for you to pause, listen, and come home to yourself.

We all come to yoga for a reason...

Maybe it was physical pain, heartbreak or loss.
Maybe a life shift like a change in career or relationship.
Maybe a friend or family member brought you to a class.
Or just the sense that something had to change.

But we don’t stay for the poses, we stay for the transformation.
And paradoxically, our transformation doesn’t happen when we finally nail our handstand or have perfected our chaturanga. Or even when we obsessively practice every single day like our life depends on it.

The real transformation begins:
✨ When our yoga practice becomes a portal to our inner world.
✨ When you go beyond the asana and begin to meet the truth underneath: The grief, the fear, the stuck emotions, the stories stored in our body.
✨ When you let stillness reveal what movement often keeps at bay.

This is when yoga stops being something we do - and becomes the way we live. A path that teaches us how to hold space - for ourselves and others - through the messy, raw and powerful process of healing.

Follow us for teaching tools, insights and training opportunities that will help you to teach yoga as a path of true, embodied transformation. ♥️

Jamie’s perspective on how yogic philosophy completely changed him:

“Ancient yogic philosophy-rooted in timeless truths — has transformed the way I see, understand, & experience life.”

✨ It opened me up to a new perspective, a new landscape of life.
✨ It taught me that life is a mirror-what I attract or reject is a reflection of myself.
✨ It gave me a conceptual framework to relate to my soul, humanity, and the bigger picture.
✨ It led me to explore Western psychology, uncovering my shadows and patterns.
✨ It became the container that holds it all-the philosophy, the psychology, the self-inquiry.

The next step in your yoga journey might not look the way you imagined. 💜

Transformation isn’t linear - it moves through plateaus, doubts, crises and, eventually, breakthroughs into something more aligned.

The thread through it all? Staying connected to your joy. 💫

When the spark feels dull, it’s not the end - it’s an invitation to realign with what truly lights you up. 🌿

In teaching, as in nature, there is no need to compete. 🌿
 The tree doesn’t rush to outgrow its neighbor, and the ocean doesn’t seek to outshine the sky. Neither do we need to chase recognition or status.

Our role as teachers is not to be the center of attention, but to reflect the wisdom that flows through us, guiding our students with humility and presence. 🌸

Teaching isn’t about becoming more - it’s about being yourself, fully and unapologetically, in service to others. When we root ourselves in this truth, teaching becomes lighter, more authentic, more joyful. 💛

Remember why you stepped onto the mat and fall in love with the practice all over again. 🌱
