Yin Yoga with Reiki
Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in 1922. Developed by Mikao Usui, it is a gentle, non-invasive practice where a practitioner channels healing energy, typically through their hands (placed lightly on, or just above the body) aimed to help balance a person’s physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.
Rei- means universal or spiritual wisdom, and Ki- means life energy (or chi, prana). This practice is believed to support the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Most people report feeling relaxed, warm, or peaceful.
Other benefits (reported by practitioners and their clients):
Deep relaxation and stress reduction
Emotional clarity and balance
Support for healing physical or emotional pain
Improved sleep, focus, and energy levels
.
Yin with Restorative Yoga
Yin with Restorative combines these into a single session, usually starting with longer-held yin poses to open up the body, followed by restorative poses (with props) to promote complete relaxation.
How it Feels:
Yin = "sweet discomfort" as you soften into deeper tissue,
Restorative = "being held"- your body fully supported and feeling safe
Benefits:
Improves flexibility by slowly stretching connective tissue
Calms the nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety
Supports deep rest and recovery
Increases body awareness and mindfulness
Perfect for burnout, insomnia, or high stress
What to Expect:
Gentle Arrival (5 min)
Breath awareness or body scan
Yin Poses (20–30 min)
Seated or supine (lying on your back) poses held for 2–5 minutes
Focus on mild to moderate sensation, not pain
Restorative Poses (20–30 min)

No effort; goal is total comfort and surrender
