A gentle, beginner-friendly hour of Yin with no props at all — a full-body deep stretch to open the body and quiet the mind. We begin resting in child’s pose, then fold through half butterfly, ease into a soft sphinx backbend with crocodile to rest, and finish on the back with reclined pigeon and a supine twist before settling into savasana. Each pose is held for three or four minutes, long and slow, so the stretch has time to reach those deeper connective tissues.
This is a lovely first taste of Yin if you’re new to the practice, and just as welcome if you simply want a slow, no-fuss stretch for the whole body. There’s no rush and nothing to reach for — just follow along at your own pace. Every pose comes with an easier option, so you can make each shape work for your body.
Only your mat and a warm, quiet space where you can be still. This is a no-props class, so rather than reaching for a bolster or block we adjust each pose to suit you. Every pose has a gentler option and a deeper one — take whichever feels right, and press pause whenever you need to.

Not a thing — this one is designed for no props at all, so you can press play wherever you are. Rather than reaching for a bolster or block, we simply adjust the shape of each pose to suit your body. Just your mat is all you need.
Absolutely — this is an intro to Yin made with beginners in mind. Yin isn't about how far you go; you come to about 60–80% of your capacity and let the shape do the work. I offer a gentler alternative in every pose, so you can always find a version that feels right for you.
Each pose is held for around three to four minutes, which is where the deep, slow stretch happens. If it ever becomes too much, you can gently ease out early or take the easier option — there's nothing wrong with adjusting a pose when you need to.
