What can we learn from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective in regards to autumn and our Yin Yoga practice?

Yin Yoga is a functional style of Yoga in which we try to primarily address our connective tissues, releasing muscular effort. This directs the stretch into the connective tissue along which meridians described by Traditional Chinese medicine are found. How can we inspire our Yin practice with TCM concepts?

Spring time with its upward moving energy reminds us of our potential, our plans and growth. The wood element in TCM is associated with spring and the organ system of liver and gallbladder. We can target these meridian lines in our Yin Yoga practice.
