Chakras VS Meridians In Yin Yoga

S. 3 | Ep. 9

Today's topic can be a bit of a tricky one—a common question I get is about the origins and philosophical roots of Yin Yoga.

Is it rooted in Indian philosophy or does it have its connections with Taoism and Chinese medicine?

As Is often the case in Yin Yoga the answer is yes....no ...well it depends.

This often leaves new teachers puzzled about whether to discuss chakras or meridians or perhaps both in their classes.

Let's dive into this.

I want to clarify that much of what I'll share is my personal opinion. There's no right or wrong here.

Yin Yoga often gets confused between Indian philosophical grounding and Taoist or Chinese medical systems.

You'll find teachers leaning towards Indian philosophies while others veer towards Taoism and Chinese medicine.

For new teachers, this can be perplexing—should you be talking about chakras, meridians, or both?

This episode will aim to clarify these confusions and share my journey and decisions based on 20 years of teaching.
