About Yang
Yang describes the active, warming, bright, outward, and mobilizing aspect of life. It works together with yin as part of a dynamic polarity rather than a rigid dualism.
In the body, yang is associated with movement, function, metabolism, and activation. When yang is weak, coldness, fatigue, low drive, and poor circulation tend to become more pronounced.
