As I work since almost 2 decades as Therapist with a unique Japonese traditional massage therapy base on stimulating the meridien system and having a very good result with my patients.

Also I had many experiences, beginning 19 years ago, of the flow of vital energies and I clearly felt, around the meridians [energy channels], some vital energy like liquid ligth and heat going around my body. Particularly I felt Kundalini Shakti or power was very strong around the spine and in every cells of my body. This go all along with a direct experience and teaching with the meridien of the Earth grid of light energy. All have been given back to permit global and individual healing. So in my practice I can feel such energy flowing or when I'm in place of power flow of energy that we call the leys lines that I can  feel. As natural dowser of the subtil energy, is very real, is the Ch'i or Prana well known in the ancient Asian culture. The yoga is the very ancient knowledge of such subtil energy body that pervade everything. It' is a real science that we rediscoverd here in the Western modern world. The combination of Ying Yoga, during the time of the body detox with the Japonese Amma massage therapy base on the meridiens of the body, can be very effective.

 

Yin Yoga, gentle meditative yoga, a less popular style of yoga in the west is an approach that some may have never even heard of. One that in my experience, as my friend yoga teacher showing me, I start to practise daily and found out a very interesting tool to relaxe come back flexible and feeling very  good with greats benefits.

 

Why? And how? Same as the Tao of Yoga, through deep meditation, the ancient spiritual adepts won insight into the energy system of the body. In India, yogis called this energy prana and its pathways nadis; in China, the Taoists called it qi (pronounced chee) and founded the science of acupuncture, which describes the flow of qi through pathways called meridians. The exercises of tai chi chuan and qi gong were developed to harmonize this qi flow; the Indian yogis developed their system of bodily postures to do the same.

Western medicine has been skeptical about the traditional energy maps of acupuncture, tai chi, and yoga, since no one had ever found physical evidence of nadis and meridians. But in recent years
researchers, led by Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama in Japan and Dr. James Oschman in the United States, have explored the possibility that the connective tissue running throughout the body provides pathways for the energy flows described by the ancients.

Drawing on Motoyama’s research, Taoist Yoga weds the insights gained by thousands of years of acupuncture practice to the wisdom of yoga. To understand this marriage—and to use it to help us
sit with more ease in meditation—we must familiarize ourselves with the concepts of yin and yang. Opposing forces
in taoist thought, the terms yin and yang can describe any phenomenon. Yin is the stable, unmoving, hidden aspect of things; yang is the changing, moving, revealing aspect. Other yin-yang polarities include cold-hot, down-up, calm-excited.

Yin and yang are relative terms, not absolutes; any phenomenon can only be yin or yang by comparison with something else. We can’t point to the moon and say, “The moon is yin.” Compared to the sun, the moon is yin: It’s cooler and less bright. But compared to the Earth (at least from our perspective), the moon is yang: brighter, higher, and more mobile. In addition to being relative, a yin-yang comparison of any two objects depends on the trait being compared. For example, when considering location, the heart is yin compared to the breastbone because the heart is more hidden. But when considering substance, the heart is yang compared to the breastbone because the heart is softer, more mobile, more elastic.

Now if you’ve never practiced Yin yoga you might not quite understand how this is so different, but for me Yin has dug deeper than I could have ever gotten otherwise. For my students I often tell them when they are about to try a Yin class that they need to try it three or four times to really make a decision about the practice. Many find immediate benefits like more open hips, a more relaxed body and centered mind. To me, I don’t think one practice is better than the other, but what I would see as beneficial is for the practitioner to see the benefit in each and that there is a need for both. Possibly one benefiting more than the other at times in your life, but a need none-the-less.

 

Some of the benefits of Yin yoga are:

 

• Calming and balancing to the mind and body

• Regulates energy in the body

• Increases mobility in the body, especially the joints and hips

• Lowering of stress levels (no one needs that)

• Greater stamina

• Better lubrication and protection of joints

• More flexibility in joints & connective tissue

• Release of fascia throughout the body

• Help with TMJ and migraines

• Deeper Relaxation

• A great coping for anxiety and stress

• Better ability to sit for meditation

• Ultimately you will have a better Yang practice

• I really do believe that if you incorporate a little of both will create a more well-rounded practice as well as a better-rounded version of the awesome you!

If you take a peek at a Yin-Yang symbol, it is suggesting that no matter what, we should take a “tiny bit” and put it in the heart of its opposite. Knowing both practices, and having struggled with a wide variety of eating disorders, addiction, depression and anxiety, I get that too much of something is simply too much. Yin yoga as taught me to truly be still, to really come face to face with myself, even more than my past practice has; and because of this I am now able to bring what Yin has taught me into my more Yang like practices and ultimately my life as a whole. 

 

The Flow of Qi

Even if you only spend a few minutes a couple times a week practicing several of these poses, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how different you feel when you sit to meditate. But that
improved ease may not be the only or even the most important benefit of Yin Yoga. If Hiroshi Motoyama and other researchers are right—if the network of connective tissue does correspond
with the meridians of acupuncture and the nadis of yoga—strengthening and stretching connective tissue may be critical for your long-term health.

Chinese medical practitioners and yogis have insisted that blocks to the flow of vital energy throughout our body eventually manifest in physical problems that would seem, on the surface, to have nothing to do with weak knees or a stiff back. Much research is still needed to explore the possibility that science can confirm the insights of yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine. But if yoga postures really do help us reach down into the body and gently stimulate the flow of qi and prana through the connective tissue, Yin Yoga serves as a unique tool for helping you get the greatest possible benefit from yoga practice.

The Ying Yoga is the best combination with the detox program and the ancient Amma  Japonese Massage therapy base on the flow of energy the Ch'I.
