Deep Relaxation Yin

What this Yin class is

A gentle sixty-minute Yin Yoga class made for deep relaxation. Slow, supported stretches to soften the body and quiet the mind — a lovely way to unwind after a busy day, or to ease stress and tension. It’s Class 1 of a monthly series, and it’s beginner-friendly throughout: clear, gentle guidance, and an easier or a deeper option in every pose.

Who this class is for

Anyone who wants to slow down and let go — especially if you’re new to Yin. If you’re feeling stressed, tired, or tightly wound, this class meets you where you are. No experience needed; just bring yourself.

What you need

A few props make the supported poses feel truly restful: a couple of yoga blocks, a bolster, and a blanket if you have them (pillows or rolled towels work just as well). Otherwise, just your mat and a warm, quiet space where you can be still. Press pause any time you need to.

How Yin Yoga works — three simple cues

• Find your edge. Come to a real stretch — a gentle challenge — but never pain, and never force. Just find your edge and breathe.
• Be still. Settle body and mind, and rest your attention on the sensations and your breath.
• Give it time. These holds are a few minutes each — that’s where the relaxation deepens. Come out sooner if you need to.
