What this Yin class is

Ninety minutes of deep-stretch Yin to release held tension right through your fascia. We hold each pose for a full five minutes, giving the connective tissue time to soften so you feel openness in the hips, length through the spine, and space across the shoulders and quads. I’ve chosen shapes that always help me find a really deep stretch — and once we’re settled in each one, I keep the cues to a minimum so you can make the practice your own. 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 deep stretch — to unwind tight hips and a stiff spine, or simply to sink into a long, meditative practice. It’s gentle and beginner-friendly, with alternatives offered throughout, so newer students are just as welcome as seasoned ones. New to Yin? Read the pose notes below first, then follow along at your own pace.

What you need

Your mat, and a warm, quiet space where you can be still for a while. Have a strap within reach for the Cow-Face arms, and keep a couple of blocks or a bolster nearby for support — the bolster is especially lovely under Saddle, and a cushion is welcome for seated poses. Press pause whenever you need to.

Common questions

How long are the holds?

Five minutes in each pose. The long holds are where Yin does its work — giving the deeper connective tissue and fascia time to soften and release. There's a clock on screen so you can keep an eye on the time, and once we settle into each shape I stay nice and quiet. Find your edge at about 60–80%, let the shape do the work, and come out slowly.

Do I need any props for this class?

A strap is handy for the Cow-Face arms, and it's a good idea to keep a couple of blocks or a bolster nearby — the bolster is lovely for supporting Saddle, and a cushion is welcome under sensitive knees or hips. Nothing is essential though; every pose has a gentler option, so work with what you have.

Is this suitable for beginners?

Yes. It's a gentle, beginner-friendly practice and I offer alternatives throughout, so if you're not ready to go deep into a pose there's always a softer way in. Work at your own level, and know you can repeat the class and go deeper over time.

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.
