A slow, low-effort 40-minute Yin practice for the days when you’re tired, low on energy, or simply not in the mood for anything active — but still want a little mindful movement. These poses don’t ask much of you at all. We settle in Corpse Pose, open the hips in Reclined Butterfly, fold gently through Caterpillar and Child’s Pose, then unwind the spine with a reclined hamstring stretch and twist on each side. Everything is held long and slow, so you can let go of tension and just relax. Come as you are — every pose has a lighter option and a deeper one.
Anyone who wants to unwind without working hard for it — after a long day, when you’re feeling unmotivated, or any time you’d rather lie down and breathe than push. It’s gentle enough for beginners and lovely for experienced practitioners who need a restful reset. New to Yin? Read the pose notes below first, then follow the shapes at your own pace and come out of anything sooner if you need to.
Just your mat and a warm, quiet space where you can be still. No props are required, though it’s always a good idea to keep a cushion or a couple of blocks nearby — you might rest them under the knees in Reclined Butterfly or sit up on one for Caterpillar. Press pause whenever you need to.

The poses ask very little of you physically. We mostly stay reclined or folded, holding each shape for a few unhurried minutes so gravity does the work while you rest. It's made for the days when you're tired or low on energy but still want a little mindful movement.
No, none of these poses need props. That said, it's always nice to have a cushion or a couple of blocks nearby — you might slide one under the knees in Reclined Butterfly or sit up on one for Caterpillar. Use them if they help you settle, but nothing is required.
Yes, that's exactly what it's for. The hardest part is just getting to your mat — once you're there, everything is slow and gentle, and every pose has a lighter option so you can do as little or as much as you feel like. Come as you are and let the practice meet you.
