The first step in understanding the essence of Yin Yoga, is to understand the archetypes of Yin and Yang.
“Although these are Taoist archetypes, they represent the truth of relationship that is mirrored in many spiritual traditions. Yin Yoga is quite unique in the yoga world in that there is no guru, no copyright and no regulatory body. When we understand what Yin can represent, we see that this freedom to find our own way of expressing ourselves within our practice is inherent in the archetype. As with all freedoms, this comes with its own challenges. If we fall into the same old patriarchal control systems, letting someone outside ourselves show us their way and not allowing us to discover our own truth, then we have lost one of the most important truths that the Yin archetype can help us remember.”
– Jamste School, Biff Mitoefer
