A deep 35-minute Yin practice for the whole lower body — the glutes, hamstrings and hips. We work through long, slow folds and one gentle reclined twist, holding each pose for about three minutes so the deeper tissue has time to soften and let go. The first half is seated; the second half is on your back. Come as you are — every pose has a gentler option and a deeper one, so you can meet your body wherever it is today.
Anyone who wants to release tight hips, glutes and hamstrings — whether you sit at a desk all day, run or cycle, or simply feel a bit stuck through the lower body. It’s an all-levels class, so newer students are very welcome; read the pose notes below first, then follow along at your own pace and take the gentler option whenever you need it.
Just your mat, and a warm, quiet space where you can be still for a while. No props required — but because the first half is seated, a block, cushion or folded blanket to sit on makes the folds more comfortable, and a rolled blanket under a sensitive knee is a nice touch. Press pause whenever you need to.

About three minutes each. That long, quiet hold is where Yin does its work — it lets the deeper tissue around the hips and hamstrings slowly release. If three minutes feels like too much, come out sooner; there's nothing wrong with that.
No props are required — just your mat. That said, the first half is seated, so a yoga block, cushion or folded blanket to sit on makes the folds more accessible, and a rolled blanket under a sensitive knee is lovely if you need it.
Yes. Keep a generous bend in the extended leg and never lock the knee. Find your edge at about 60–80% and let the shape do the work — over a few minutes the stretch deepens on its own, without you having to force it.
