What this Yin class is

A 30-minute silent, full-body Yin class where the talking falls away and the stillness does the work. Katie offers just enough cues to guide you into each shape — child’s pose, a gentle melting heart, sleeping swan, and shoelace with eagle arms — along with a gentler alternative, then leaves you in quiet for around three minutes per pose. It’s a slow, meditative journey through the hips, spine and shoulders that leaves the whole body softer and the mind calmer.

Who this class is for

Anyone who already knows their way around a few Yin poses and would love to practice in peaceful quiet rather than with constant cueing. It’s a beautiful reset after a busy day or at the end of the week. New to Yin? You’re very welcome to follow along — just take your time and lean on the gentler option in every pose.

What you need

Just your mat, and a warm, quiet space to be still for half an hour. A cushion or a yoga block is handy to sit on in shoelace or to rest your forehead on in sleeping swan, and folding your mat gives sensitive knees a little extra padding — all optional. Every pose here has a gentler option and a deeper one, so meet your body wherever it is today.

Common questions

What props do I need for this class?

Nothing essential — just your mat. Katie does suggest a cushion or a yoga block if you'd like something to sit on in shoelace, or to rest your forehead on in sleeping swan, and folding your mat is nice if your knees are sensitive in child's pose. Have them nearby, but they're all optional.

Is a silent, minimum-cues class right for me?

This one is lovely if you're already a little familiar with Yin and enjoy dropping into stillness without much talking. Katie gives just enough cues to get you into each shape, offers a gentler alternative, then leaves you in quiet for around three minutes per pose. Brand new to Yin? You might prefer one of her fully guided classes first.

What if I can't hold a pose for three minutes?

That's completely fine — three minutes is only a suggestion. If a pose feels like too much, or you feel any pain, tingling or numbness, gently come out, rest, and rejoin at the next pose. Every shape here has a gentler option, so you can always take the easier version.

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.
