Chandra Yin

Chandra — the cooling moon
Intensity : Gentle
Duration : 60 min
Level : All levels
Best for : Pitta
The cool of the moon for the fire of Pitta — a slow, cooling yin practice that releases the heat, tension and drive the Pitta type carries.

Cooling the Pitta fire

Pitta is fire and water — sharp, driven, focused, ambitious. In balance it is brilliant. Out of balance it overheats: irritable, inflamed, critical, unable to switch off. The Pitta instinct under stress is to push harder — which only stokes the fire.
Chandra Yin is the deliberate opposite. Named for chandra, the cooling moon, it is a slow, passive, cooling practice that gives the overheated Pitta system permission to soften. Where Pitta drives, this class releases. Where Pitta competes, this class simply is.
What happens in the class
Drawing on the long, supported holds of yin yoga, the class works into the connective tissue with no striving and no heat-building. Postures are held passively for several minutes, cooled by slow, lengthened breathing — including Sheetali, the cooling breath. The atmosphere is calm and unhurried, deliberately non-competitive, and the practice closes with a cooling relaxation to settle the fire completely.

Benefits

  • Releases the heat and inflammation of aggravated Pitta
  • Softens irritability, intensity and the drive to push
  • Teaches the Pitta type to rest without 'achieving'
  • Releases deep tension in the hips, chest and shoulders
  • Cools and calms the whole system

Who this class is for

Prescribed for Pitta types — especially the driven, ambitious and easily-frustrated — and for anyone overheated by stress, competition or the summer months. If your Dosha Reading returned Pitta, this cooling practice is essential medicine.
