Yin Yoga for Liver & Gallbladder Meridian | YWM 723 🌿Membership ➡️ https://www.melissawest.com/membership Spring is the season of the Wood Element, when the Liver & Gallbladder meridians guide the smooth flow of Qi (energy). When these meridians are in balance, we feel ease, clarity, and emotional flexibility. However, when Qi stagnates, anger, frustration, and irritation can build up. This Yin Yoga practice supports emotional detox for spring, helping you release stuck emotions, restore flow, and soothe irritation. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) inquiry, we will explore anger and frustration, allowing them to be seen and gently transformed. This class includes a reading of “I Remember You” by Dave Ursillo and uses blocks and a blanket for support. Let go of tension, clear stagnant Qi, and connect with the free flow of energy within. ✨ 📖 Want to go deeper? The green section of my book, Five Element Yin Yoga, explores the Wood Element in full depth. ➡️ Get the book: https://melissawest.com/book/ 🔆 Join us LIVE this Sunday for a Spring Equinox workshop-style class inside our membership! 🌿 Membership ➡️ https://www.melissawest.com/membership…

Restorative Yoga for Hips & Low Back | YWM 720 48:44

Restorative Yoga for Hips & Low Back | Yoga with Melissa 720 🌿 Ready to take this deeper? Join our membership for a structured journey into nervous system regulation through yoga. ➡️ http://bit.ly/ywmmembership Our hips and lower back hold the energetic tension between flexibility and stability, expansion and support. This restorative yoga practice invites you to explore the deeper psycho-spiritual meaning of these areas through somatic experiencing and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering space to gently unwind patterns of control, tension, and holding. By settling into long-held, supported postures, we create an opportunity to notice where we grip, where we soften, and where we can invite more fluidity, creativity, and trust in the body's wisdom. Rather than focusing on stored emotions or trauma, this class embraces the hips as a center of life force energy, adaptability, and creative flow, while the lower back reminds us of the balance between personal strength and the need for external support. Through guided awareness and intentional pauses, you will have space to listen to the quieter parts of yourself—the parts that strive to hold everything together and the parts that long to release. With a nervous system-informed approach, this practice encourages small, sustainable shifts in how we meet resistance, how we recover, and how we expand our capacity to move through life with greater ease. Whether you’re feeling physically tight or energetically overwhelmed, this class is an invitation to trust your body's natural rhythm, find grounding amidst change, and cultivate a deep sense of spaciousness within. If this class resonated with you, inside my membership, we are taking this even deeper this month with a guided pathway for Nervous System Regulation Through Spiritual Ascension. Each week, we integrate practices like this one into a supportive community where you can ask questions, receive guidance, and deepen your experience. You can join us inside. 📖 Deepen Your Practice with Yin Yoga – Winter is the perfect time to nourish your low back, kidneys, and water element through deep, replenishing rest. My Yin Yoga book is filled with poses to support your hips and lower back, bringing balance to your body and mind. Get your copy here 👉 https://melissawest.com/book/…

Yoga Nidra Rest as Remedy for Nervous System Exhaustion | Navigate Your Nervous System #6 | YWM 709 33:12

för 21 weeks sedan33:12

33:12

Navigate Your Nervous System Cheat Sheet 👉 📄 https://melissawest.com/navigate/ In this yoga nidra practice, we will explore the deep restorative power of rest to heal from the exhaustion that comes from chronic stress and overwhelm. This session is designed to address dorsal vagal shutdown, a response in the nervous system where the body "shuts down" to conserve energy after prolonged periods of stress. This shutdown can manifest as profound fatigue, emotional numbness, and a need to withdraw from daily life. Many of us, especially those who habitually overwork, over-give, and push past boundaries, experience this kind of depletion. When our nervous system is constantly activated, it can lead to a state of collapse, where both body and mind feel deeply drained. Yoga nidra offers a pathway back to balance. Through this practice, we will create space for deep rest, allowing the nervous system to reset and recover. You will be guided through gentle body awareness, breathwork, and sensory relaxation, inviting your body to move from exhaustion into a state of healing. This practice is a powerful antidote to overdoing, helping you reconnect with your inner reserves and nourish yourself from within. Rest as remedy is central to this yoga nidra, emphasizing the importance of self-care and boundaries as essential tools in preventing further shutdown. Allow yourself the time and space to experience true rest, replenishing your energy and restoring your body’s natural rhythm.
