Description

When you come into a yin yoga pose, what truly matters isn’t how deep you go, it’s whether your body feels safe enough to soften.



In this episode, we explore the felt sense of safety, the deep, quiet signal in your nervous system that says, “I don’t have to be on guard right now.” Without this internal safety, no sequence, no cue, and no posture will create the calm we long for.



You’ll learn:



Why your nervous system must feel safe before it can relax

How trauma-informed yin yoga helps the body trust again

Why “regulation” isn’t about staying calm 

How well-meaning yoga cues can unintentionally bypass the body’s reality

What changes when we prioritize safety before shapes



This isn’t about performing poses. It’s about remembering that healing happens when your body feels safe enough to unfold, not when you force it into a shape.



If you’re ready to experience this for yourself, try my Emotional & Nervous System Yin Reset, a gentle practice designed to help you reconnect with safety, softness, and self-trust.



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.
