Yin Yoga Series

Yin Yoga Series

with Dr. Sanaa Jaman

This three-part yin yoga and meditation series is a slow and powerful invitation to come home to yourself.

Rooted in the feminine wisdom of stillness, surrender, and shadow integration, each session weaves long-held postures with soulful inquiry, breath, and inner reflection. Together, we explore not just the shapes we make on the mat but the stories, identities, and emotional truths we carry in our bodies.

Rather than bypassing discomfort, we move through it, gently, honestly, and with grace. We meet the hidden, the silenced, the tender. We soften around the masks we've worn to survive and reawaken the voice we've longed to hear: our own.

Whether you’re in a season of remembering, release, or reclamation, this series will hold space for your return. You do not need to be more flexible or more “healed.” You just need to arrive as you are.
