This 30-minute Yin Yoga Full Body Deep Stretch Beginner class is just what you need to find balance in our hustle culture. Unlike most forms of yoga, yin yoga focuses on the deeper connective tissues in your hips, pelvis, and lower spine, helping you release tension and find stillness.

In this class, you'll learn the three principles of yin yoga: finding your edge, resolving to be still, and staying for a while. With gentle, slow movements, you'll explore the yin qualities of surrender, ease, and relaxation, allowing gravity to take the weight of your body and access the deeper layers of your connective tissues. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced yogi, this class will help you drop into your body and find balance in your life.

If you are brand new to yoga and get frustrated with other yoga classes on YouTube that don´t give modifications and are too hard to follow, don´t worry, our beginner yin yoga classes are actually for beginners, people who have never done yoga before. We offer slow, easy to follow, step by step instructions with lots of modifications.

Props: 2 blocks, bolster (or pillows)
