Seventy minutes of Yin devoted entirely to the hips — the fourth class in my free Yin Yoga Challenge. We work slowly through the whole hip complex: the outer hips and glutes, the inner thighs and groin, and the lower back that so often tightens alongside them. Each pose is held for a few long minutes so the deeper connective tissue has time to release, and I keep the cues gentle so you can sink in and let the shape do the work. Come as you are — every pose has a gentler option and a deeper one.
Anyone with tight hips — whether from sitting at a desk, running or cycling, or simply carrying a long week in your body. It’s wonderful if you want more freedom and ease through the hips and lower back, and it’s welcoming for beginners too. New to Yin? Read the pose notes below first, then follow the shapes at your own pace.
Your mat, and a warm, quiet space where you can be still for a while. A firm cushion or pillow to sit on makes the seated hip poses much kinder, and a blanket is lovely to have nearby — a block or two can help as well, but none of it is essential. Press pause whenever you need to.

Yes. It's an all-levels class and every pose has a gentler option and a deeper one, so you can choose how far to go. If you're new to Yin, read the pose notes below first and follow the shapes at your own pace, coming out sooner whenever you need to.
Nothing is essential, but a firm cushion or pillow to sit on makes the seated hip poses much kinder, and a blanket is lovely to have nearby. A block or two can help as well. You can press pause at the start to gather anything you'd like.
The class runs around 70 minutes. Most poses are held for roughly three minutes per side so the deeper connective tissue in the hips has time to release — the length of the hold is where the change happens.
