The Three Tattvas of Yin Yoga Practice:

A tattva is the reality of a thing, or its category or principal nature. 

1. Come into the pose to an appropriate depth ("playing our edges").
2. Resolve to remain still.
3. Hold the pose for a time.

               --Sarah Powers

Remembering these three principles as you practice will simplify everything. 

• Monday through Friday, daily practice of 15 minutes depending on personal preference and recommendations offered.
• Practice will include seated Meditation, Yin Yoga pose, and Shavasana to rest and integrate your practice.
• Practice can happen on its own or be incorporated into the beginning or end of your current home practice.
