Lovely article about emotional release in your yoga practice… you’re not alone ❤️🙏🏻🥰
Tears during yoga aren’t unusual. And it’s more than asana that may stir emotion. Breathwork, meditation, chanting, even the stillness of savasana can create space for something deeper to surface.
Traditional teachings describe energetic knots in the subtle body as “granthis”—places where experience may have been held, protected, or guarded. When yoga practices bring steady breath and attention to these areas, prana is said to move more freely, gently unwinding these knots.
When something long-held begins to move, the experience can feel tender, relieving, or even joyful. Tears (water from your eye ducts) are okay!
We’re curious—if a student, a friend, or you yourself begin to cry during yoga, how do you honor that moment?
Is there a particular pose or practice that tends to bring emotion to the surface for you?
Your insight may be exactly what someone else needs to hear.
And if something tender is moving through you right now, Yoga Nidra for Emotional Healing with Jeremy Wolf offers a steady, compassionate space to rest, soften, and simply be.
