Kim Eng: Presence Through Movement - Yin Yoga

Most of our lives are directed by the energy of doing—known as yang in the Taoist tradition. To bring life into balance, we need to cultivate its opposite, yin, the energy of "allowing." Now Kim Eng offers a practical program of conscious movement to help us find balance between these forces and allow the moment to be as it is. Join her on Presence Through Movement: Yin Yoga to learn postures and practices that take you into the state of presence. With an introduction by Eckhart Tolle on the value of yin yoga and set in a serene garden, this video begins with gentle instruction on a variety of meditative poses including Butterfly, Sleeping Swan, and Dragon. By inviting us to hold these postures Kim enables practitioners to discover their "comfortable edge," a process that can release deeply held traumas within the inner body and bring about true stillness. "It may seem counter intuitive, but one of the best ways to experience inner calm is to move—and hold—your body with intention," teaches Kim. With Presence Through Movement: Yin Yoga she offers both long and short practices to help practitioners "be the space" for whatever arises—by allowing, accepting, and opening to the present moment.
