Yin Yoga with Berra Sertel
When we say yoga, we emphasize the universal wholeness and being a part of the whole.
But isn't it better to go from small to big in order to grasp this whole?
Trying to grasp the universal integrity without understanding our own bodily integrity is not much different from wanting to be a university graduate without going to primary school. A similar situation is valid for diseases as well. It is not very possible to reach a definitive solution without understanding where our disease comes from. Our trigger point begins when we don't take enough care of our body and use it as an unnecessary emotion tank and trash it. If you do not take out the garbage in the house, just like the house gets dirty, the feelings we have accumulated inside will turn the next day into a garbage dump for us. Yin Yoga is another way to get rid of emotional garbage and relax spiritually, physically and mentally.
This book is a clear guide to understanding the Yin Yoga system that runs parallel to Chinese Medicine in its fluent and understandable language. Although chakras and meridians belong to two different cultures, it makes us think about how they complement each other and determine our personality with their reflections on our body, soul and mind. It sheds light on our better understanding of ourselves by revealing the underlying causes of some of the disorders we experience.
This book, which we think you will enjoy reading, is equipped with basic information about Yin Yoga and our mental health.
