A calm 35-minute journey for your back and spine, holding each shape for three to five long, quiet minutes. We fold forward in child’s pose and dangling, open into gentle backbends with sphinx and seal, then hug the knees in and wring things out with a reclined twist on both sides — stretching your spine in every direction before you rest. It’s a beautiful way to release aches and tension from tired back muscles and leave feeling longer and lighter.
Anyone carrying tension in their back or spine, and anyone who loves a slow, deeply restful practice. It suits all levels — if you’re new to Yin, simply follow the shapes at your own pace and take the gentler option whenever you need it.
Just your mat and a warm, quiet space to be still. A cushion or block nearby is nice if your hips don’t reach your heels in child’s pose, but nothing is required. Every pose has a gentler option and a deeper one — choose whichever meets your body today.

Not at all — your mat is all you really need. If your hips don't quite reach your heels in child's pose, a cushion or block under your forehead or seat is lovely to have nearby, but it's completely optional. Come as you are.
Yin is gentle and slow, and every pose here has a softer option — bend your knees in dangling, lower down in seal, or ease off the twist. Stay at about 60–80% of your capacity and never push into pain. If anything feels wrong for your back, come out and rest.
We begin folded forward in child's pose, then dangle for the hamstrings and spine, open into sphinx and seal for gentle backbends, hug the knees in to release the lower back, wring things out with a reclined twist on both sides, and rest in savasana.
