Yin Yoga Immersion in Energy Arts
Yin Yoga Immersion - Practice & Theory - Language : French 🇫🇷
In this workshop, we offer a combined study and meditative practice of Nei Jing Tu and Yin Yoga. The poetic yet pragmatic vision of the Taoists is reflected in their teachings. Nei Jing Tu is the symbolic landscape of the human body's mystical energy system.
This is a card presenting a meditative practice in the Chinese Taoist tradition, considered to be "inner alchemy". Practitioners of Yoga and Taoism seek to expand their consciousness by "cultivating" or "purifying" the energies that circulate within their bodies. To be effective, a certain understanding of these energies, their circulation and their functions is necessary. The Nei Jing Tu is a symbolic representation of these technical details.

Theory - Interior Landscape Map
Historical and theoretical introduction to Nei Jing Tu. The Nei Jing Tu diagram depicts a person seated in meditation, the body configured like a Chinese landscape.

Practice - Yin Yoga & Nei Jing Tu - Cultivating the lower Dantian
This course combines breathing techniques with Yin Yoga poses . It prepares us for the first stage of Nei Jing Tu meditation: Following the Buffalo and Pushing the Plough. The Buffalo represents the instinctive, uncontrolled movement of your diaphragm - the involuntary, spontaneous rhythm of your breathing. Pushing the Plough is deep abdominal breathing, sometimes called "Diaphragmatic breathing". It's the fundamental breathing technique.
SUNDAY, October 19
9.00 - 12.00
Theory - Central Dantian
Understanding of the importance of the Central Dantian, located just above the diaphragm, at the level of the lungs and heart. It manifests itself physically in the good circulation of oxygen and blood. In Taoist inner alchemy, this is the area where Qi is transformed into Shen energy. It is also the emotional center.

Practice - Yin Yoga & Nei Jing Tu - Cultivating the Central Dantian
This class combines breathing techniques with Yin Yoga poses . When the breath calms, the mind calms. When the mind calms, the heart calms. If the heart calms down, the practitioner can connect with and regulate his Qi. The Shepherd is located in the center of the chest, the flower of the heart chakra. A practice that combines passive breathing and cardiac coherence to find the suspension of breath and connect with the movements of the heart.
14.00 - 17.00
Theory - The Upper Dantian
The Upper Dantian is located on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the brain. It is considered the receptacle of Shen, an energy considered more subtle than Qi. Shen is spirit and intelligent consciousness. It is the result of the cultivation of jing/essence, which rises through the heart and becomes Qi, then Shen.
