Welcome to the thirty-sixth edition of The Reset. This is a regular monthly offering from me along with A Peaceful Pause.

There’s now three years’ worth of classes in The Reset archive. If you’re currently a free subscriber, you can access all of these practices by upgrading your subscription.

Just a few previous practices include:

Restorative Rescue

Ease Your Tired Eyes

A Pain in the Back (Part 1)

De-Stress Stretch

Shoulder Relief

Restorative Yoga for Endometriosis

Restorative Support for Deep Rest

Restorative Yoga for Anxiety

Restorative Yoga for Caregivers

You can find all editions of The Reset in one place here.

For any new subscribers to Slow Living in the Big City, welcome! The Reset is one of the offerings that paid subscribers receive from me each month, as well as full access to my growing archive of all posts, yoga classes and meditations. To receive all this, upgrade to monthly (this works out to £1.50 a week) or yearly membership (£1 a week). Free subscribers currently receive two posts per month. Thank you so much for being here.

This month’s edition of The Reset is a yin practice to open your heart and invite in feelings of vitality and trust.

You’ll be stimulating the Heart meridian lines which run through the centre of the upper body – the heart, chest and inside of the arm, and the Small Intestine meridian lines which run along the outside of the arm and across the chest. In TCM, the Heart and Small Intestine are the organs associated with Summer, but this is a practice that you can do at any time of the year.

Props required:

  • A blanket or large towel

Here’s your Yin Yoga to Open Your Heart class (22mins 31secs):
