Pigeon or Swan? Unpacking Yin Yoga Pose Names.

In this episode of the Yin Yoga podcast, I dive into why Yin Yoga poses have different names compared to other yoga styles. I explore how Paul Grilley (MR.Yin Yoga) renamed poses to avoid the alignment rules dominating the yoga community.Also, different teachers might use different names for the same pose and stress the importance of being flexible and open-minded about these variations. The episode encourages letting go of rigid attachments to pose names and focusing on the true essence and benefits of Yin Yoga practice.00:00 Introduction to the Yin Yoga Podcast01:08 Welcome Back and Disclaimers03:23 Listener Feedback and Podcast Love05:08 The Importance of Following and Reviewing07:54 Why Yin Yoga Poses Have Different Names12:40 Paul Grilley's Influence on Yin Yoga18:30 Variations and Naming Conventions in Yin Yoga25:19 The Bigger Picture: Flexibility in Yoga Practice 38:12 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsRegular Podcast Links for SpotifyYoga Teachers: Join The Waitlist for my Therapeutic Yin Yoga Training at the bottom and top of the PageTo Join my Yin Yoga Classes on ZoomTo subscribe to my On-Demand Video Library:Full Show Notes https://nykdanu.com/teachers/yin-yoga-podcast/Anatomy for Yoga with Paul GrilleyHang Drum Music by Fred Westra Find me on Instagram @nykdanuyoga@YinYogaPodcastSee all episodes at a glanceWant to support my work?
