The Spleen and Stomach meridians represent the Earth Element within us. Yin Yoga is influenced by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which holds that when the chi of these two meridians is not in balance, bloating, flatulence, and other digestive problems may arise. One of the functions of the spleen is to restrain the blood, so if the spleen function is weak then menstrual bleeding can be heavy, spotting before menstruation and excessively long periods. The spleen is the body's largest lymphatic organ and is fundamental in fighting off infections. Additionally, TCM holds that if spleen chi is weak, excessive worry might be a challenge, yet if it is strong then creativity can flow and the capacity for thinking, study and concentration increases. Spleen chi is also connected with intention, willpower, and awareness of possibilities for change. 

The spleen and stomach meridians run from the outside of the big toe, up the inner leg/ passing through the spleen on the right side and finish under the armpit. To target these areas, Bex teaches poses that include Square, Half Saddle, Cats tail whilst Seba provides a beautiful backdrop of African kora.
