Yin Yoga is often described as a practice of slowing down, softening, or long-held stretching. But beneath the quiet shapes lies a deeper architecture—one that connects the body’s fascial web, the rhythm of the breath, and the subtle flow of energy that shapes how we feel.

This workshop offers a grounded, experiential introduction to that inner landscape. We’ll begin with a clear review of Yin Yoga’s physical foundations: how to practice safely, how to work at your personal edge, and how stillness gives the nervous system space to settle and restore. These fundamentals help you practice Yin in a way that feels supportive, sustainable, and deeply nourishing.

From this foundation, we’ll use the Five Elements of Chinese Medicine—Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, and Earth—as a gentle, intuitive map for this exploration. Each element offers a different kind of support:

• Metal helps us release what we’re carrying.

• Water restores deep rest and resilience.

• Wood gives direction and grounded strength.

• Fire warms the heart and calls home spirit.

• Earth brings stability, nourishment, and calm

This workshop is ideal for:

• anyone new to Yin Yoga wanting clear, practical foundations

• practitioners seeking emotional balance or energetic clarity

• students curious about fascia, breathwork, and Chinese Medicine

• yoga teachers looking to refresh and deepen their approach to Yin

• anyone longing for a more spacious relationship with their inner life

You’ll leave with a renewed sense of your body’s quiet intelligence—and a felt understanding of the elemental map that will guide future workshops in this series.

Josh Summers teaches Yin Yoga as an intimate practice of stillness, breath, and inner listening.
