When I first began practicing yoga 27 years ago, Hatha Yoga was a balanced blend of introspective poses and strengthening postures. Over the years, I have observed a shift in the yoga world—a tendency toward more physically demanding and dynamic practices that emphasize strength, endurance, and movement. While these practices have their merits, they focus on the masculine energy and often bypass the feminine energy that our being needs to remain balanced and move toward self-realization. This evolution in yoga trends highlights the importance of restoring equilibrium through practices like Yin Yoga, which nurtures introspection, stillness, and deep connection with oneself.
