Stillness can be confronting. The moment the body stops moving, the mind begins to chatter, old thoughts, unfinished feelings, forgotten stories all surface in the quiet. Yin Yoga becomes a mirror for the mind. Like meditation, the practice of Yin is not about silencing the thoughts, but about watching them drift by like snowflakes.

We live in a world that treats stillness as failure. Productivity is praised like a religion, and rest is something to “earn.” The result? Chronic burnout and disconnection from the natural rhythms that sustain us.  When we ignore our body’s cues, we abandon our inner seasons. The nervous system forgets how to settle, and we start believing that rest equals falling behind.
