Yin, somatics & the yoga of pain with Mandy Ryle

Today, Lynn interviews Mandy Ryle, (ERYT500, CSCS, Certified Nutrition Coach, Certified Pain Care Aware)!  We hear about Mandy's "yoga story" and how she ended up specializing in yin and pain care. We'll talk about why this practice of yin is so important and why a teacher would need this knowledge in their teaching toolbox, regardless of the style they teach.

 

Mandy will be hosting a yin & somatics training for yoga teachers at Yoga Story in September 2025.  You can find out more on our website www.yogastory.info/workshops
