A slow, gentle 20-minute Yin practice to ease you into the day. We settle in with a long child’s pose, loosen the spine with a few rounds of cat-cow and down dog, then open the hips in dragon on both sides before drawing the breath wide in puppy pose. A soft seated twist wakes up the middle of the body, and we close with a quiet moment of stillness. No props, no rush — just a calm way to stretch away any tension that gathered overnight.
Anyone who likes to start the morning slowly and gently, whether you’re brand new to Yin or well practiced. It’s a lovely first thing to do before the day gets going, and it works even when your body feels stiff and sleepy. Follow the shapes at your own pace and take the gentler option whenever you need it.
Just your mat and a quiet corner where you can be still for twenty minutes. This is a no-props class, though a cushion or pillow nearby is nice to tuck under your hips in child’s pose or to soften a knee. Every pose has a gentler option and a deeper one — choose whichever your morning body is craving.

No — this one is designed for nothing but your mat, so you can roll out of bed and press play. If your hips don't quite reach your heels in child's pose, a cushion or pillow tucked under is lovely, but it's entirely optional.
Absolutely — that's exactly what it's for. We start slow and stay mindful of a body that isn't warmed up yet, with a gentler and a deeper option in every pose. Take only as much as feels good, and come out of anything sooner if you need to.
Yes. Yin isn't about how far you go. Find your edge at around 60–80%, let the shape do the work, and take the softer version whenever you like. Over time you'll notice things opening up in their own way.
