What this Yin class is

A full ninety minutes of silent Yin to give your back and spine some real TLC — long, slow holds with minimal cues and no props. I say just enough to name each shape and how long we’ll stay, then leave you to the quiet so you can drop out of your head and fully into the pose. We work down through the whole back line — the legs, the hips, the length of the spine — releasing the places that hold a day’s worth of tension. Come as you are — every pose has a gentler option and a deeper one.

Who this class is for

Anyone whose back is asking for some space, and anyone who loves a peaceful, meditative practice with very little talking. It’s a longer class, so it suits an unhurried afternoon, a slow evening, or a rainy day when you can truly disappear into it. New to Yin? Read the pose notes below first, then follow the shapes at your own pace — there’s no rush and nothing to keep up with.

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 if you’d like a little support. Press pause whenever you need to.

Common questions

Do I need any props for this class?

No — this is a no-props class from start to finish. All you need is your mat and a warm, quiet space. If you'd like a little extra comfort, a cushion or blanket nearby is always welcome, but nothing is essential.

It's silent — how will I know what to do?

I name each shape and roughly how long we'll stay, then let you sink into the quiet. If you're new to Yin, read the pose notes below before you begin, and remember every pose has a gentler option and a deeper one. Follow along at your own pace.

Is 90 minutes too long if my back feels sensitive?

Not at all — the long, slow holds are exactly what tight, tired backs respond to. Find your edge at about 60–80%, never forcing, and come out of any pose sooner if you need to. You can also press pause at any time and rejoin when you're ready.

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.
