OVERVIEW: What Is Tao Yin Yoga?
Tao Yin Yoga. Iron Shirt Chi Gong. Tai Chi: A Journey Inside Yourself
Tao Yin integrates the Chinese medical model of meridians and pathways to open the body. Unique postures promote stillness, clear energetic blockages, enhance circulation, develop deep core strength, muscle tone, balance, and stamina.
Guided visualizations enable the participant to move into a meditative state for deepening one's practice while transcending perceived limitations. Tao Yin postures are done primarily on the floor allowing the body to receive support from the earth while opening into the pose like a flower opening into a bloom. Soft flowing movements promote space between the joints while inviting fluidity, flexibility, and grace in the body.
Iron Shirt Chi Gong involves prolonged engagement of tendons while sustaining standing postures.
Tai Chi enhances strength in the core and lower extremities while engaging in focused meditative movements.
The outcome of these practices over time is:
-
A noticeable rehabilitation of a range of motion; increased flexibility & joint mobility.
-
Skills for maintaining a balanced emotional state.
-
Improved metabolism/ health of the internal organs.
-
A deep steely strength.
