What this Yin class is

A soft, cosy Yin class for the days when your energy and motivation are low. We stay close to the floor the whole way through — settling into child’s pose, opening the hips in a reclined butterfly, easing along the side body in banana pose, unwinding the spine with a reclined twist, and finally melting into a long savasana. Nothing here asks for strength or effort; we simply relax, breathe, and let gravity do the work.

Who this class is for

Anyone feeling lazy, tired or unmotivated who still wants to give their body a little care. It’s perfect for beginners and for anyone who wants a calming, low-effort practice to unwind with — at the end of a long day, before bed, or any time you need a gentle reset.

What you need

Just your mat and a warm, quiet space where you can be still. A yoga block or cushion is nice to have nearby to support your hips or forehead in child’s pose, but it’s optional. Every pose has a gentler option and a deeper one, so take whichever feels right and press pause whenever you need to.

Common questions

Do I need any props for this class?

Just a mat is fine. A yoga block or a cushion is handy if you'd like something to rest your hips or forehead on in child's pose, but it's entirely optional — come as you are and use whatever makes you comfortable.

Is this suitable if I'm a complete beginner?

Absolutely. This is one of the gentlest classes you could pick — we stay low and reclined the whole way through, nothing needs much strength or flexibility, and every pose has a softer option. It's a lovely place to start.

I'm feeling lazy and unmotivated — is this really worth doing?

That's exactly who this class is for. There's no rush and nothing to push through; you simply lie down, breathe, and let gravity do the work. Well done for showing up — the hardest part is already over.

A gentle reminder: Yin asks you to respect your limits, not override them. Come out of any pose that feels like pain rather than sensation, ease off if your hands tingle or a knee complains, and take your time coming out of the long holds — the body feels tender for a moment, and that passes. This practice is about taking good care of your body, never pushing it.
