A new home for Yin
one calm place for the practice
For a long time now, everything I make has lived on YouTube. I love YouTube — it’s where we found each other — but it was never built for the way people actually practice Yin. You’d come looking for “something for my hips before bed,” and end up scrolling past thumbnails, half-remembering which class was the good one, talking yourself out of rolling out the mat at all.
So I made something better. This whole site is a proper home for the practice — free, no login, nothing to buy. Just the calmest, clearest way I could imagine to find the right practice and actually do it. Here’s what’s waiting for you.
A library that finally makes sense
Every class I’ve made, in one place — and you can filter it the way your body actually asks for things. Under 20 minutes. For sleep. Hips and lower back. Full body. Tap what’s true for you tonight and the right classes rise to the top. No more scrolling, no more guessing.
A pose library, to understand the shapes
Not just what to do, but why. Each Yin pose now has its own page — what it targets, how long to hold, the gentler option and the deeper one, and the little cues that make all the difference. And every class links straight to the poses inside it, so if you’ve ever wondered “wait, what’s this one doing for me?”, the answer is one tap away.
Guided routines, so you never have to decide
If you’ve ever wanted someone to just time it for you, this is it — self-guided routines, poses in sequence with a built-in hold timer, filterable by area, mood and length. Press play and I’ll keep the time for you.
And a gift to begin with
If you’re new here — or you just need permission to stop for a couple of hours — I’ve made you a free two-hour retreat: a guided journey through Yin, restorative yoga and Yoga Nidra to melt off a hard week and settle your nervous system. It’s normally a members-only class, and it’s yours to keep.
I’ve poured a lot of quiet hours into this, and it will keep growing — I’m writing up more classes every week, and I’ll be sharing more here in the Journal, too. Have a wander, and if something would make it more useful to you, I’d genuinely love to know.
With warmth, Katie 🌿
