What this Yin class is

A full hour of silent Yin for deep full-body flexibility — a slow, spacious stretch with minimal cues and no props needed. We open gently through the back with Child’s Pose and Cat/Cow, melt the heart and shoulders open, then work along the spine through Sphinx and Seal before settling into the hips and legs with Shoelace and Happy Baby. A reclined twist and a long side-body stretch wring everything out before we rest. I name each shape and how long we’ll stay, then let you sink into the silence. Come as you are — every pose has a gentler option and a deeper one.

Who this class is for

Anyone who wants a deep, unhurried full-body stretch with very little talking — after a long day, at the end of a busy week, or any time your body feels tight and your mind feels loud. It suits all levels, from complete beginners to seasoned practitioners. 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. No props required — though a cushion or blanket nearby is always welcome. Press pause whenever you need to.

Common questions

Is this a silent class?

Almost — this is a silent, minimal-cues practice. I say just enough to guide you into each shape and let you know how long we'll stay, then leave you to the quiet so you can drop out of your head and fully into the stretch.

Do I need any props?

No props needed. Just your mat and a warm, quiet space. If a cushion or blanket nearby makes a shape more comfortable you're always welcome to use one, but nothing is required.

Is an hour too long if I'm new to Yin?

Not at all. Every pose has a gentler option and a deeper one, and the holds are yours to shorten. Come to about 60–80% of your edge, read the pose notes below first, and follow along at your own pace.

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.
