"I found the definition of Equanimity and the Yin Philosophy to be in perfect alignment. As I have learned Yin asks the body to gently hold in a pose for an elongated amount of time so that there is a path carved for the mind and body to find equanimity; therefore bringing deeper awareness, unlocking the body's meridians and thus igniting the mind, body, spirit connection for a transformational and empowered healing process!" - Practitioner of Yin & Restorative YTT Peru 2017
