Yin yoga can provide an antidote to your busy ever

Yin yoga can provide an antidote to your busy everyday life filled with constant information overload and dull posture. ⁠
⁠
After yin yoga you will be transformed: ⁠
💙 More aware⁠
💙 Present⁠
💙 Whole⁠
💙 Revitalized⁠
💙 Calm ⁠
💙 Reformed⁠
⁠
🧘🏻 Sounds good, right? We challenge you to start regular yin yoga practice this autumn and follow the results by journaling about your journey 3-4 weeks.⁠
⁠
📷 Before you begin the Yin Your Skin® yin yoga sessions, we recommend taking a before pic of your face. The face and body are interconnected via meridians and several asanas in yin yoga affect these meridians. Thanks to them, even if you are working only on your body, the effects can show on your face. You can see the difference right after your first practice and totally after four weeks of regular yin yoga.⁠
⁠
📙It’s also good to keep a journal for 3–4 weeks for writing down observations on the quality of your sleep, digestion, focus, and general wellbeing. You may be surprised by your observations right from word go. ⁠
Share your experiences with us!⁠

Do you know your body´s energy centers, the chakr

Do you know your body´s energy centers, the chakras? ⁠
⁠
✔️ Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means wheel. ⁠
✔️ The body´s energy centres are referred to as chakras, as their spinning motion makes energy flow. ⁠
✔️ Chakras receive life force energy Prana or Qi, and pass it on through energy channels nadis or meridians.⁠
⁠
There are seven main chakras located along the midline of the front of the body: ⁠
⁠
1. Root chakra ⁠
2. Sacral chakra⁠
3. Solar plexus chakra⁠
4. Heart chakra⁠
5. Throat chakra⁠
6. Third eye chakra⁠
7. Crown chakra ⁠
⁠
✔️ The magnetic field that surrounds the body is referred to as the eight chakra. ⁠
⁠
✔️ Each chakra is characterized by its own basic principles, emotion, body parts and other elements linked to human progression, natural rhythms and lifecycles. ⁠
⁠
✔️ If energy becomes blocked in one of the chakras, it triggers physical, mental, or emotional imbalance. For example, you may feel symptoms such as anxiety, lethargy, or poor digestion.⁠
⁠
✔️ Chakras can be activated, balanced and cleansed by spending time in nature as well as through music, mantras, colours, gemstone therapy, aromatherapy, meditation and yoga. ⁠

In the upcoming posts we´ll take a closer look at each chakras. ⁠
⁠
Start working with your chakras with the help of Chakra balance meditation and Deep dive meditation. You can find chakra balance and Deep dive meditations from Yin Your Skin® Signature Experience course. ⁠

You´ve probably noticed that when you get out of

You´ve probably noticed that when you get out of bed in the morning, your body often feels stiff and slow. After you have been on your feet for a while, moving and stretching your body, it moves again smoothly and effortlessly. ☀️⁠
⁠
This same phenomenon appears also on the face and is caused by thixotropy of the extracellular matrix.⁠
⁠
✔️ Cellular metabolism happens through the extracellular matrix. Extracellular matrix allows the connective tissue layers to glide to each other. On the face it can be seen as smooth expressions. ⁠
⁠
✔️ Thixotropy is typical for the extracellular matrix. It solidifies in static state. In this case the connective tissue stiffens and the mobility of the skin is weakened. On the face this can be seen as tense general appearance. ⁠
⁠
✔️Due to thixotropy the moisture content of the connective tissues decreases, the metabolism of the cells slows down and the fluids remain in the space between the cells causing swelling.⁠
⁠
✔️ When the extracellular matrix is subjected to warm, movement and mechanical tension, its viscosity decreases and it becomes more fluid. ⁠
⁠
This is one of the reasons why facial gua sha is so effective. In addition to softening the extracellular matrix, facial gua sha also activates fibroblast cells, which are responsible for the production of the ground substance of the extracellular matrix, collagen and elastin. ⁠
⁠
This is how you can see the results on your face: ⁠
💛 Reduced puffiness⁠
💛 Relaxed overall look of the face – the skin seems to settle more beautifully and naturally on top of the bone⁠
💛 Sculpted facial features ⁠
💛 Healthy glow ⁠
