Meridian lines and yin yoga
This is an excerpt from Yin Yoga 50+ by Paul Steele.
Yin yoga is based on creating conditions to open the meridian lines and let energy flow. By stressing or compressing our connective tissues, we are also stressing our organs, and in turn releasing any blockages in our meridians. As most yin yoga poses affect the lower body, then we mainly stimulate the Stomach/Spleen, Liver/Gallbladder, and Kidney/ Bladder meridians.
