S3:E1 YinWave — Why Yin Is Not Stretching

An audio introduction to fascia-informed Yin Yoga, explaining how it differs from stretching and why slowness and sustained stillness support real tissue change.

Many people come to Yin Yoga thinking it’s simply long, passive stretching, and then feel confused when it doesn’t behave the way stretching usually does.

In this short episode, Chris gently explores why Yin works differently. You’ll hear why stretching targets muscles, why it often stops helping when stress, fatigue, or injury are involved, and how Yin uses stillness and time to communicate with deeper connective tissues instead.

If you’ve ever felt tight despite stretching regularly, or noticed that pushing flexibility doesn’t bring lasting relief, this episode offers a calmer, more compassionate way of understanding what’s happening in your body.

This is an introduction, not a lesson, an invitation to listen rather than try harder.
