Yin Routine · Intermediate
37 minutes to open tight hips and legs
30 min · 8 poses · no props
Just under forty minutes in the hips — the place we hold so much, and the reason most people come to Yin in the first place. We work slowly through the inner thighs, outer hips, hip flexors and hamstrings, letting gravity and time do the opening. Go gently; hips are stubborn and reward patience, not force. Come as you are, and back off the moment anything feels sharp.

Press play and follow along — each hold is timed, with a gentle chime and a moment to ease out before the next pose. Use Skip or Prev to move at your own pace.
Yes — it works the hips from several angles (inner thighs, outer hips, hip flexors and hamstrings) with long, patient holds, which is exactly how Yin encourages the hips to release over time.
It's pitched at a gentle intermediate level because the hip holds are deep, but it's very doable as a beginner if you ease in, take the gentler option in each pose and never force. Back off the moment anything feels sharp, especially in the knees.
Two or three times a week is a realistic, effective rhythm. Hips are stubborn and respond to consistency and time far more than to forcing.
