Deeping Yin: The Power Of Props in Yin Yoga

In this episode of A Yin Yoga podcast,  Addie deHilster (mindfulness meditation teacher and certified Yoga therapist) and I have a relaxed what I'm calling a fireside chat about the use of props in Yin Yoga. If we think that yoga should be accessible to everyone (and I do) regardless of their skeletal structure or flexibility. Then in this discussion My guest and I emphasize how props can enhance comfort and accessibility, debunking the notion that Yin Yoga should be practiced without them. We dive into the critical role of props in Yin Yoga, address common misconceptions and highlight the benefits for individual practice. In this discussion, we chat not only about our personal experiences, but also share practical advice for teachers, and the broader implications for creating accessible and trauma-informed Yoga environments. The functional use of props to avoid hierarchies in poses. Overcoming internal resistance to prop use. Ideas for propping effectively even in prop-limited settings.
