Module 3: YIN TO THE POINT
TCM - Acupressure points and their use in Yin Yoga
What are Acupressure points?
Acupuncture points (also known as acupressure points if used by pressure instead of needling) are specific locations along the meridians – the body's energy pathways. They can influence and regulate the flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood. They can be thought of as control centers that regulate energy flow.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) recognizes that joints play a special role because they are where Qi and blood accumulate. Therefore, many important acupressure points are located on the limbs, especially near the elbows and knees. Targeted stimulation of these points can promote balance in the body.
Why Yin Yoga with TCM?
The focus of Yin Yoga per se is on the joints. It's less about building muscle and more about the fascial tissue and flexibility in the joint sites. By gently stressing the joints, we cause a temporary buildup or stagnation of Qi and blood. Once we release the posture, we promote increased blood circulation and Qi flow.
Combination in the Yin Yoga Teacher Training
The combination of acupressure points and meridians is a unique method for practicing Yin Yoga. The focus is clearly on our energy flow and our physical and mental health. As part of the Yin Yoga teacher training, this module exclusively introduces, practices, and subsequently discusses Yin Yoga sequences that contain acupressure points that, among other things, help with menstrual cramps, strengthen the immune system, and contribute to relaxation of the nervous system.

Lead Teacher of Yin Yoga Training in Vienna
Nikoleta enjoyed two Yin Yoga sessions during her first Hatha/Vinyasa Yoga training. Even then, it was clear that she would focus less on Vinyasa and more on Yin Yoga in the future.
Since then, she has completed two Yin Yoga trainings with international teachers, both of whom studied under the godfather of Yin Yoga, Paul Grilley.
Since then, Nikoleta has completed approximately 800 hours of Yin Yoga training, combined with meditation, TCM, and acupressure. Over the years, she has taught hundreds of Yin Yoga classes, primarily in Vienna. She varies her Yin Yoga classes, focusing on either more physical challenges, mental focus, energy pathways, meditation, spirituality, etc.
