Join Our Online Class: JingJin Yoga Basics


with Debby Valentine Smith & Teddy Piotrowski
Thursday January 23, 2024

In this online class we will learn about the (JingJin) Fascial Tendinomuscular Meridians and an approach to basic yoga stretches that stimulates and opens these pathways of Qi – known as “prana” in yoga.

Discover awareness with the use of breath and movement along these channels to unravel the tension and fascial restrictions associated with physical, mental and emotional stress and deepen your attunement to the subtle body.


We will explore how yoga students can incorporate the releasing power of these meridians into their daily practice for self-care.


Included in this class is a 26 minute full-body JingJin Yoga practice.

You can practice using 1)a yoga mat on the floor, 2) an elevated surface like a bed, sofa or massage table, 3) an armless chair. Bring two small blankets, two bed or sofa pillows and an open mind.

Using JingJin Yoga for Trauma

Embrace the journey of healing by creating a safe space within your practice. Establishing a sense of safety is crucial when working with trauma in the body, allowing for deeper emotional and physical release. The JingJin Yoga technique meets those requirements. Slowly approaching the stretch allows awareness of the reactions. 

The method is to first identify which of the tendinomuscular meridians (TMM) run through the painful area and to pick the stretch that addresses it. For the yoga practitioner working on themselves, the yoga posture that aligns the whole tract along the TMM will remind the body of its natural path from head to toe. This is coupled with respectful awareness of the signals of the body, including the positive responses of flow as the pathways of Qi and Blood are improved. Unlock the potential of your body by understanding how the fibers in your muscles respond to movement. As these fibers loosen, they create a natural flow that enhances lubrication, allowing the tissue to return to its original state, promoting overall flexibility and health.

Less is More  By integrating these principles, practitioners can enhance their practice and promote a more profound connection to movement and flexibility.  Explore the transformative power of JingJin Yoga by embracing the principle of ‘less is more.’ Allow your body to naturally open and stretch without force, leading to a deeper connection and enhanced flexibility.

The practice of JingJin Yoga encourages a mindful examination of bodily sensations, allowing individuals to recognize and respond to signals of tension, pain, or fear. This awareness fosters a deeper connection to oneself, promoting healing and personal growth.

The role of the fascia in the human body has been getting a lot of attention.  Its effects are far-reaching because it surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, and fiber in place! In short, it is everywhere and affects everything! The trick is to keep the fascia “unstuck” so that it is supple and hydrated and can glide, slide, twist, and bend with movement. Bodyworkers know about it because itis everywhere we touch. Yoga practitioners know about it because their asanas are designed to stretch it.   JingJin Yoga is about combining those two Eastern wisdoms: Yoga and Chinese Medicine. Unlike other bodywork methods that use the principal energy pathways of acupressure and acupuncture, it focuses on the pathways that are dedicated specifically to the muscles and fascia – the JingJin.
The authors have used the trajectories of the JingJin to fine-tune the asanas of Yoga and added the mind-body connection with the energy pathways through guided meditation. These deceptively simple stretches profoundly benefit the whole body in many surprising ways. When done regularly the effects are cumulative and endless!
