Yin Yoga for the Highly Sensitive: Understanding HSP and Creating a Nurturing Practice
In this episode of the Yin Yoga podcast, I discuss being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and why a Yin Yoga practice is ideally suited for us.
I'll explain what it means to be highly sensitive, clear up common misconceptions, and share personal experiences from my own life.
You'll get practical tips for self-care routines and ways to manage sensory overload.
I also dive into how Yin Yoga can help HSPs regulate their nervous systems and why it's such a powerful practice for us.
Whether you're a Yoga teacher who is an HSP, or you want to make your classes more accessible HSP's you'll find valuable insights and actionable advice to make your Yoga practice or classes more supportive and nourishing.
