A full hour of gentle Yin to create some peaceful moments — Class 7 of the Create Peaceful Moments series. We open with a few settling breaths and a round of box breathing, then move slowly through a full-body stretch using a block or two for support: a heart-opening Supported Fish, a Pontoon shape for the lower back and front of the hips, reclined twists, Dangling, a grounding squat and Thread the Needle for the shoulders. Long, supported holds let everything soften. Come as you are — every pose has a gentler option and a deeper one.
Anyone who wants a calm, restorative hour to stretch the whole body and quieten a busy mind — after a long day, at the weekend, or any time you crave a little more peace in your week. It works beautifully as a standalone class or as part of the weekly Create Peaceful Moments challenge. New to Yin? Read the pose notes below first, then follow the shapes at your own pace.
Your mat, and a yoga block or two — grab those before you start so they’re within reach. A cushion or blanket is lovely for extra support under the head or knees. Find a warm, quiet space where you can be still, and press pause whenever you need to.

Yes — a yoga block or two. You'll rest back over a block in Supported Fish and place one under your hips for the Pontoon shape, and you can sit on a block in the squat or tuck one under your feet in the final rest. A firm cushion works just as well.
Yes, it's all levels. Every pose has a gentler option and a deeper one, so you can build the class around your own body. Find your edge at about 60–80%, and come out slowly whenever you need to.
Holds run from about three to five minutes each — Supported Fish for five, the Pontoon and twists for three, Dangling and the squat for three, and Thread the Needle for four on each side. The times are only suggestions; listen to your body and rest sooner if you need to.
