Yin yoga sequence for the Water element. This Yin yoga sequence for the water element focuses on nourishing the kidneys with breath centred awareness and on stretching into the inner knees, thighs and groin to stimulate the Kidney meridian.

Water Element:
Fear is connected to the water element, and since fear is at the root of anxiety, anxious symptoms may suggest that this element is out of balance in the body. For some, this fear may manifest as over-thinking or over-doing, and for others, as a complete lack of will and inspiration. The extreme nature of these shifts often mean that a person with a water imbalance finds themselves constantly tired and facing sleep issues. In long-term cases, some people are diagnosed with chronic fatigue (due to physical pressure on the adrenal glands, diagnosed by TCM practitioner).
