Chandra Yin

The single most powerful Pitta prescription in the studio. Long, passive holds directly challenge the Pitta compulsion to push, achieve and compete.

Each posture is held for three to five minutes, working into the connective tissue rather than the muscles — Sheetali, the classical cooling breath, running underneath the stillness throughout.

There is no sequence to build toward, no goal to reach. Chandra — the moon — is the classical antidote to Pitta fire: you leave not accomplished, but unwound.

All levels — the challenge here is stillness, not strength. Prescribed for Pitta constitutions.
