A calming 30-minute bedtime Yin class with a gentle focus on the hips — the perfect way to unwind before sleep. We begin seated with some soothing 4:8 breathing to settle the mind, then lie back for reclined butterfly, reclined swan and a reclined twist on each side, before melting into a long, restful corpse pose. Every shape is held slow and still, with no props needed, so you can let the tension of the day drain away.
Anyone who wants to ease tight hips and quieten a busy mind before bed. It’s a beginner-friendly routine with just a few poses, so it’s lovely whether you’re brand new to Yin or simply want something soft and grounding at the end of the day. Come to it tired — that’s rather the point.
Just your mat and a warm, quiet space where you can lie down and be still. This is a no-props class, though a cushion under your head or knees is nice if you’d like a little more support. Every pose has a gentler option and a deeper one, so take whichever feels right tonight.

Not a thing — this one is designed with no props at all, so you can roll onto your mat (or even your bed) and simply follow along. If you'd like a little extra comfort, a cushion under your head or knees is always welcome, but it's entirely optional.
Absolutely. This is a beginner-friendly routine with just a handful of poses, each held for two minutes, and Katie guides you into every shape with a gentler option and a deeper one. There's no rush and nothing to get right — just settle in and breathe.
That's completely fine — Yin isn't about how far you go. Come to about 60–80% of your edge, let the pose do the work, and slide your feet or knees to ease the stretch whenever you need to. Over time you'll notice the hips softening in their own way.
