17: Your Nervous System in Yin Yoga: Why Flexibility Isn’t Just Physical
Update: 2025-10-17
Description
Most people think flexibility in yoga means touching your toes. But real flexibility - the kind that actually is life changing - has nothing to do with how far you can fold.
But what I wish more yoga spaces would talk about: real flexibility isn’t just about the body. It’s about your nervous system. It’s about how you meet emotions, how you respond to stress, how you hold space for what’s uncomfortable without shutting down or running away.
In this episode, I’m unpacking what I call “nervous system flexibility”, the missing link between emotional regulation, trauma-informed principles, and how yin yoga and meridian work connect the dots.
You’ll learn:
Why traditional yoga and meditation might not be reaching your deeper layers
How yin yoga supports your emotional and energetic body through the meridian system
Why stillness might feel uncomfortable and how to feel safe in it
The real difference between performing calm and actually feeling it

I’m also sharing part of my own story, how I went from chronic burnout and anxiety to discovering yin yoga as the practice that helped me rebuild from the inside out.
If today’s episode resonated with you and curious to experience how this works in practice, I invite you to explore it through my free resource: The Emotional and Nervous System Yin Reset.
This experience combines short comprehensive theory, a guided yin yoga practice based on my integrated signature approach The Meridian-Emotion-Nervous System Yoga Method® and a reflection journal to integrate your experience.
