What this Yin class is

Seventy minutes of Yin to stretch you from head to toe — the final class of my Yin Yoga Challenge, and a lovely one to return to any time you want a full, deep release. We open with a grounding meditation, then work slowly through the whole body: the feet and ankles, the back and hips, a long stretch through the legs, the shoulders, and finally some gentle twists to unwind the spine before we rest. The holds are long, so there’s plenty of time to settle and let each shape do the work. Come as you are — every pose has a gentler option and a deeper one.

Who this class is for

Anyone who wants a proper, unhurried full-body stretch — whether you’ve followed the whole challenge or you’re dropping in fresh. It’s a wonderful weekly reset, and a calming way to release tension through the hips, legs and spine. New to Yin? Read the pose notes below first, then follow the shapes at your own pace.

What you need

Just your mat, and a warm, quiet space where you can be still for a while. A cushion, a folded blanket and a block are lovely to have nearby — we’ll use them to sit up on and to pad the knees and ankles wherever you need more comfort. Press pause whenever you need to.

Common questions

Do I need any props for this class?

Nothing is essential — just your mat. That said, a cushion, a folded blanket and a block are lovely to have close by. We use them to sit up on and to pad the knees, ankles and hips, so you're comfortable enough to stay for the long holds.

Do I need to have done the earlier challenge classes?

Not at all. This is the ninth and final class of my Yin Yoga Challenge, but it stands completely on its own. Drop in fresh whenever you'd like a full head-to-toe stretch — you won't have missed anything you need.

Is 70 minutes of Yin suitable for beginners?

Yes. Every pose has a gentler option and a deeper one, so you decide how far to go. Read the pose notes first if you're new, find your edge at about 60–80%, and come out of any shape sooner if you need to — the length is where the change happens.

A gentle reminder: Yin asks you to respect your limits, not override them. Come out of any pose that feels like pain rather than sensation, ease off if your hands tingle or a knee complains, and take your time coming out of the long holds — the body feels tender for a moment, and that passes. This practice is about taking good care of your body, never pushing it.
