What this Yin class is

A full hour of Yin for the lower body — long, slow holds (around three to five minutes each) to release tight hips and let the lower back soften. If the day collects in your hips and back, this is where it lets go. Come as you are — every pose has a gentler option and a deeper one, and you choose what feels right today.

Who this class is for

Anyone who sits a lot, feels tight through the hips, or carries tension in the lower back — whether you’re brand new to Yin or well into your practice. This class meets you where you are.

What you need

Just your mat, and a warm, quiet space where you can be still. Keep a cushion or blanket nearby if you’d like to support the hips in the longer holds. Press pause whenever you need to.

Common questions

How long is this Yin Yoga class?

It runs about 60 min. Yin is slow and floor-based, so you can settle in — and pause any time you need to.

Do I need any props for this class?

No props needed — just a mat and a warm, quiet space. A cushion or blanket nearby is always welcome for extra comfort.

Is this class suitable for beginners?

Yes. It's an all-levels class — every pose has a gentler option, so work at about 80% of your edge and ease off whenever you need to.

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.
