What this Yin class is

A full ninety minutes of silent Yin — a deep, unhurried full-body stretch held long and slow. I say just enough to guide you in: the name of each pose and how long we’ll stay, then I leave you to the quiet so you can settle past the busy mind and fully into the shape. Long holds work through the hips, shoulders, back, chest and legs, one patient pose at a time. Come as you are — every pose has a gentler option and a deeper one.

Who this class is for

Anyone who loves a peaceful, meditative practice with very little talking — and anyone who wants a proper, deep stretch with time and space to breathe. It’s a beautiful one for a slow morning or a quiet evening. New to Yin? Have a read of the pose notes below first, then follow the shapes at your own pace.

What you need

Your mat, a warm and quiet space where you can be still, and — for the Supported Fish near the end — a bolster or firm cushion to rest back over. A blanket nearby is lovely for the long holds. Press pause whenever you need to.

Common questions

Is this a silent Yin Yoga class?

Yes — I keep the cues to a minimum, saying just the name of each pose and how long we'll hold it, then leaving you to the quiet. It's a lovely way to drop out of your head and fully into the practice. If you're new, read the poses below first so you know the shapes.

Do I need any props?

Only one, and only near the end: a bolster or firm cushion is lovely under the back for Supported Fish. Everything else is done on a bare mat. Keep a blanket nearby too if you'd like extra comfort in the long holds.

Is 90 minutes too long for a beginner?

Not at all — Yin is slow and still, so a longer class is really just more time to rest. You can pause any time, come out of a pose sooner than I suggest, and treat my hold times as gentle suggestions. Come as you are.

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.
