Blog - Anxious in Yin Yoga? You Are Not Alone - According to psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Judson Brewer, “The anxious brain is wired to avoid uncertainty and discomfort.” So when stimulation is removed, as it is in yin yoga and sound bath sessions, your nervous system may sound the alarm. It’s not wrong. It’s just protective. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6444d20b4fe0a0026c1e6a7f/01e9d285-ceb9-4d86-95f1-1e8357931e2c/Dr.+Belinda+Barnes%2C+certified+yoga+instructor+and+founder+of+Inside+Retreats%2C+practices+a+calming+self-soothing+technique+during+outdoor+yoga%2C+placing+her+right+hand+on+her+forehead+and+left+hand+on+her+heart+to+promote+emotional+balance+and+mindfulness.

Your Time Matters. Your Boundaries Matter. And your Self-Care Matters above all else because you can’t give from an empty well. Others will benefit when you truly value you, and you will in turn find your relationships are healthier, and the right people are drawn to you. Not the toxic ones. And sadly, going down a tictok hole for hours, or binge watching Netflix isn’t exactly going to do the trick to cure this affliction. Proper self-nourishment requires looking within, knowing our blocks to self-love, and finding ways to cultivate an INTERNAL loving relationship with our selves that doesn’t mirror our early pains and hurts. Are you curious about what’s stopping you having a healthy relationship with you?
