Excerpted from the book JingJin Yoga©2023

Each JingJin Stretch uses a Yoga asana to smooth the kinks and enhance energy flow in the fascia along one pair of hand/foot muscle meridians. You can do all six JingJin stretches to keep the fascia all over the body supple, hydrated and energized. You can also choose a specific stretch or two to ease stiff, strained or twisted muscles and to calm spasms and pain along the course of the related meridians.

When would you choose the Shao Yang JingJin stretch?

When would you choose the Shao Yang JingJin stretch?

Look at the diagram of the Shao Yang pathway on the right. Do any of the muscles/areas along the green and red pathways want attention? Are they sending you messages of pain, tension or weakness? Do you see yourself in the picture? What about your neck and shoulders?  Pain in the arm? Pain down the outside of the leg? Foot pain?

Specific areas along these meridians:

Triple Warmer: muscles of the ring finger, elbow, arm, shoulder, neck, jaw and tongue.

Gall Bladder: muscles of the 4th toe, knee (inability to bend or extend), side of the rib cage, breast, clavicle, neck, and those extending from the sacrum upward to below the ribs; muscles of the eyes. (Note: the book also includes specific muscles.

What is the Approach?

What is the Approach?

The Shao Yang JingJin Stretch uses the Warrior/Side Angle yoga asana to align and open the fascia along the Triple Heater and Gall Bladder muscle meridians. Mental focus is important to the method.  The book and the video available through the book provide a step by step guide for the mindfulness component of each stretch.

 Energy follows mind: the goal is awareness
