Yin yoga combines stretches in held poses with work on mobility. Holding each position gives you time to focus on sensations without constantly moving from one pose to another.
The exercises in this 90-minute class include “Tree Pose with Side Stretch”, “Revolved Side Angle Pose” and “Equestrian Pose with Shoulder Stretch”. In Tree Pose, you'll practice balancing on one leg. The class ends with time to rest lying down.
Choose a 90-minute class on a day when you have time to spare, if longer sessions feel comfortable for you.
Follow the class instructions and choose a moderate, pain-free stretch. Use support if it helps you reduce unnecessary effort.
