Make your own props
TCM & Yin Course - The Winter Recess
•
1m 39s
The yin sessions in this course are all restorative and therapeutic by nature, designed to wind down your body & mind, restoring them to their optimal health. To help your system to get into the relax mode ('rest & digest' vs 'flight or fight'), it is recommended to make use of props when doing the poses. When the bones feel supported, the muscles can release and the body can relax.
As you probably won't have all these fancy yoga props at home, in this video Fi shows you how you can make your own props using pillows, blankets and books.
