Cool & Nourish - Yin for Kidneys & Hips

This deeply restorative Yin practice works directly with your Kidney meridian and hips - two areas that hold the key to balancing the heat and intensity of menopause. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Kidneys are linked to the Water element, which naturally cools and moistens. During menopause, as Yang Qi rises (creating hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, and that 'wired' feeling), nourishing your Kidney energy and Water element becomes essential. Through long-held, supported poses targeting your hips and the Kidney meridian pathways, you'll create space for deep release while inviting cooling, calming energy back into your system. This isn't about stretching harder - it's about holding longer, breathing deeper, and allowing your body's wisdom to do the restoration work. Use this practice when you feel overheated, depleted, or like you're running on empty. This is where you refill your reserves.
