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.
