15 Min Somatic Yin Yoga To Lower Cortisol & Stress | Trauma Informed Hip Opening

Join the 2 Day Mini Training: Somatic Yin Yoga for Trauma Healing Roadmap: https://annieauyoga.com/2-day-mini-training/

In this practice, you'll experience a gentle guided somatic yin yoga class to lower your cortisol level. Cortisol is a hormone released when you experience stress. While cortisol secretion is meant to be a short term action to reduce your stress level, when secreted overtime due to long exposure to stress, you may experience physical and emotional illnesses.

Guided with a trauma informed approach, this class combines somatic techniques and yin yoga poses to help you resume safety in the body. Connecting body with the mind is essential in the path of healing. You'll feel more grounded and calm after practice.

Always respect your physical and emotional limits. Consult with your therapist if you're unsure if the practice will be suitable for you.

If you're new to Yin Yoga, here are some helpful tips:
🔸 Always respect your physical edge, this means do not lean too far into the pose where you might injure yourself.
🔸 Also respect your emotional edge, this refers to giving yourself permission to lean away or come out of the posture if you find it triggering you emotionally.
🔸 Come out of the practice gently. This could be having a cup of tea or quietly journaling.
