Yin

These practices focus on holding poses for a more extended period of time. This is a relaxing form of yoga where you will hold poses at about 70% of your max for about 2-5 minutes. Most of the poses are seated or reclined, and the practice ends with savasana.

Yin for Hips and Back (28 minutes)

This yin/restorative practice is the perfect way to destress and wind down. These poses are here to bring some gentle stretching and release to your hips and low-back. This is one of those practices that feels really great as you’re doing it AND you still feel those results long after the actual practice is complete.

Suggested props: blanket, bolster

Suggested music: 30 min- Yin

Yin for Recovery (45 minutes)

This yin practice is all about recovery! Allow your muscles time to release and gently get into some deep stretches. This is where the real magic happens! These poses are designed to feel gentle enough to hold for longer periods of time, letting the stretch get deeper into the fascia and increasing your recovery.

Yin for After Travel (29 minutes)

This yin you are going to want to bookmark and come back to again and again! This practice is designed specifically to combat that *bleh* feeling that can hang around after you have gotten back from travel. Use this flow to help you get back to feeling like yourself mentally AND address those physical needs that pop up after sitting for a long time.

Yin for the Morning (30 minutes)

This is the perfect yin practice to start your day! Yin is often thought of as a way to relax and wind down at the end of the day (which is also GREAT and definitely needed), but the benefits of the more gentle stretches to penetrate deep into your tissues actually work best before your muscles have warmed up; so, morning-time yin is where it’s at! This is a lovely way to ease into your day and give your muscles and mind a little TLC.

Suggested props: bolster (or pillows or folded blankets), wall

Yin for Neck and Shoulders (36 minutes)

This highly requested yin practice will help you release any tension that you may be storing in your neck and shoulders. We start with some yin poses that target the neck, chest, shoulders, and traps– these poses are still held for longer than a typical yoga practice, but are on the shorter side for a yin practice. Then, we settle in with a really restorative chest-opening to close out practice.

Suggested props: 2 blocks, blanket, bolster, strap

Suggested music: 35 min- Yin

Yin for Peace (30 minutes)

This yin practice is really more of a restorative yoga. The poses for this practice are incredibly gentle and each one is designed to help calm your nervous system and relax your body and mind. Truly a quick reset whenever you need to bring a bit of peace into your life.

Suggested props: blanket, bolster, wall

Suggested music: 30 min- Yin

Yin for Focus (45 minutes)

Use this yin practice when you are feeling a bit scattered and want to refocus. Take a little time for yourself and incorporate plenty of hip-opening and twisting postures to help support you.

Yin to Take Time for You (21 minutes)

This yin practice is exactly what you need to take just a bit of time for yourself. There are heart-opening and upperbody stretches to take care of the rounding forward of the spine that we do so often in our day to day life. Then, we get into some restorative twists to round out the practice. And for those of you who are Shavasana Skippers– no worries, this yin flow ends with some seated deep breathing. Enjoy!
