A gentle 30-minute bedtime Yin class that focuses on releasing tension from the neck and shoulders — the places we so often hold the stress of the day. We begin seated with calming box breathing, ease into some soft neck stretches, then settle into child’s pose, thread the needle, eagle arms and cow face arms, before unwinding the spine with cat-cow and a simple seated twist. It’s slow, quiet and beginner-friendly — the perfect way to let go and drift toward sleep.
Anyone carrying tightness in their neck and shoulders who wants to unwind before bed, whether you’re brand new to Yin or well practiced. It’s especially lovely at the end of a long day at a desk, and it’s calm and simple enough to follow even when you’re tired. New to this? Just move at your own pace and take the gentler option whenever you need it.
Just your mat and a warm, quiet space where you can be still. This is a no-props class — though if your forehead doesn’t reach the floor in child’s pose, you can stack your fists to rest it on. Every pose has a gentler option and a deeper one, so make each shape your own and press pause whenever you need to.

None at all — just your mat and somewhere comfortable to be. If your forehead doesn't reach the floor in child's pose, you can stack your fists to rest it on, but that's the only little tweak, and everything else is done with your own body.
Yes — this one is designed to be beginner-friendly. The poses are simple, seated and supported, and Katie guides you through gentler and deeper options the whole way, so you can settle in at whatever feels right for your neck and shoulders tonight.
That's exactly what it's made for. We open with calming box breathing and keep everything slow and quiet, so it's a lovely way to release the tension of the day and prepare your body and mind for a restful night's sleep.
