Module 3: 25h YIN TO THE POINT – Acupressure and Its Application in Yin Yoga

The following content is covered in this module. Each topic is accompanied by both practical application and theoretical background to ensure a solid understanding.

Why Acupressure in Yin Yoga?

Acupressure is a manual method for the targeted stimulation of points along energetic pathways (meridians). In the context of Yin Yoga, it supports nervous system regulation, deep relaxation, and energetic balance. Holding Yin asanas for longer periods can enhance the effects of specific points, as the tissue remains under gentle stimulation for an extended time. Module 3 presents these connections in a clear and practice-oriented way, without making therapeutic claims.

Module Content

The following topics provide both theoretical knowledge and practical application to integrate acupressure safely and meaningfully into Yin Yoga sequences.

  • Foundations of Acupressure:
    Historical development, principles of point location, differences between acupressure and acupuncture, and safe application within a yoga context.

  • Selected Acupressure Points:
    Function, effects, and practical application—for example, to support regulation, relaxation, or specific sequencing themes.

  • Meridian Clock and Extraordinary Vessels:
    The principle of the 24-hour meridian clock and the two most important extraordinary vessels in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

  • Integration into Yin Yoga Sequences:
    How specific acupressure points function within sequences, including sequencing logic, timing, and thematic focus.

  • Safety Principles:
    Responsible guidance, limits of application, and the distinction between supportive touch and manipulation.

Learning Objectives – After completing this module, you will be able to:

  • Explain the fundamentals of acupressure, including meridian points, energetic effects, and functional classification.

  • Understand how Yin Yoga asanas stimulate energetic pathways and how acupressure points can be integrated into sequences.

  • Apply simple acupressure techniques to support relaxation, regulation, and self-awareness.

  • Structure Yin Yoga classes in a way that uses acupressure points intentionally, without making medical claims.

  • Be prepared to meaningfully connect somatic and nervous-system-oriented concepts (from Module 6) with energetic acupressure work.
