A gentle 35-minute Yin class to help you feel more comfortable when you’re carrying cramps or lower back tension. We begin lying down in sphinx to bring a soft compression and fresh energy to the lower back, then move through child’s pose and a folded butterfly that gently compress the belly, before a grounding squat and a long dangling fold to lengthen the whole spine. We finish with a reclined twist on both sides to wring out the middle, then rest in corpse pose. Slow, soothing, and designed to leave you feeling eased and settled.
This class is designed with comfort in mind during your period, PMS, or when digestive or lower-back cramping is around — but it’s lovely any time you want to slow down and release the low back. Every pose has a gentler and a deeper option, so it works whether you’re brand new to Yin or well practiced.
Just your mat and a warm, quiet space where you can be still. This is a no-props class, though it’s nice to keep a cushion or pillow nearby — to sit on in butterfly, to rest under your heels in squat, or to soften any pose that feels too intense. Every shape has a gentler option and a deeper one, so make it your own and come out of anything sooner if you need to.

Not at all — this one is designed to be done with just your mat. It's nice to have a cushion or a pillow nearby in case you'd like to sit on it in butterfly or slide it under your heels in squat, but it's entirely optional. Come as you are.
It's designed to feel comforting when you're dealing with cramps or lower back tension — whether that's around your period, from PMS, or simply digestive or lower-back discomfort. The shapes are gentle and every one has an easier and a deeper option, so it suits complete beginners as well as regular practitioners.
That's completely fine — Yin isn't about how far you go. Find your edge at about 60–80%, let the shape do the work, and take the gentler option whenever you need it. Slide your feet wider in butterfly, keep a generous bend in the knees in dangling, and rest on a cushion any time it helps.
