By popular demand, here's another short morning yin yoga class! This will help you stretch your entire body in just 15 minutes with simple passive poses. This is suitable for all experience levels (beginners welcome!) and no props are needed. The poses we will do are: butterfly, deer, half butterfly and melting heart with a few counterpose stretches in between.
Luna joins me in this morning's yoga class but she pretty much just sleeps the entire time ;)
😍 Practice with me EVERY MORNING 👉 • 10 min Morning Yoga
There are 3 principles of Yin Yoga.
1. Find your edge
2. Be still
3. Hold the pose
Find your edge means respecting your body's limits and not pushing too far and risking injury. Pull back a little bit and as you hold the pose you will be able to go deeper into it without pushing too far or hurting yourself.
Being still means that once you are in the pose it is important to completely relax your muscles so the benefits can get into the connective tissues and joints. Try not to fidget or move or distract yourself, this is a meditative practice. Breathe deeply in and out through the nose.
Holding the pose means that in Yin Yoga a pose can be held for 1-10 minutes depending on the pose performed and on the comfort level of the student. I usually teach poses held for around 4-5 minutes. Learn to surrender and keep a timer close by if needed.

It's going to be morning in 14 hours... and I am going to start my day with yin!

"YES" to more short yins!

[@angieb.6056]

Love your morning yoga! My word is Forgiveness.

[@atsoroka]

Agree! More short yin’s!! Really helps for those short on time but require deep stretches. My word was “Precision”. Thank you!!!!

[@dakotadedreu1451]

Holla!!!!!🤗

[@mijadreams3486]

absolutely

[@emmadavidson4846]

My word ‘mindful’

[@motorcitykitty700]

Luna did a fantastic ultra-yin demonstration of the “downward laying dog” pose. Love her dedication to the long holds. 😆

[@baqieux3731]

Hahaha

[@jessicadawson8631]

I love how Luna jumps right up when you say 'Namaste!'

[@devin3838]

Luna’s stretches at the end made my day!!! Thank you for the wonderfully releasing practice & thank you Luna for the joy! 🙏🏻🤍 Peace & blessings to everyone!

[@poissonnariat]

me too! so grateful for that giggle at the end

[@audreyt9161]

I love Luna at the end, that was a perfect ending

[@helly6119]

I feel the same way

[@Lirree88]

me too

[@leahkelly9935]

I really enjoyed the shorter yin class this morning...and the guest appearance by Luna was great!!! My word was "release".

[@mariesoriano6940]

Yes! More 15 minute yin yoga classes, please. My word was “joy.”

[@biancaball5969]

Luna's stretch at the end completed the class perfectly, so cute🥰

[@rutabagayam6789]

So, I've been super burnt out over these last few months. I'm a college kid and my classes are just relentless. This morning I decided that I'm going to take this time and do something for myself. So, I pulled up this video, and honestly? I feel SO much better. It's indescribable. I feel lifted. Thank you so much for this ❤️ Amazing what a little bit of self love can do

[@dillonsickels9778]

Morning Yin was exactly what I needed today. My intention is: productive

[@alexandrahubner6736]

Mine too!

[@mommydommy333]

same here :)

[@jul8803]

Luna's strech at the end was the cherry on top of the yin cake.

[@emmajgibson]

I love your morning yin practices and this one was made even better by Luna's demonstration of puppy pose at the end!!!

[@Royayoga]

Luna was really trying to fit in hahhah. Also I absolutely love the music in the background!

[@motorcitykitty700]

YES to more morning YIN and my word was “love.”

[@judylange5302]

Yes, yes, yes to more morning yin. It's a great way to start my day.. I would also like to see all your yin sessions in one playlist. There are so many videos to go through. Thank you to you and Luna!

[@meghanlayfield725]

This was marvelous; I especially appreciated the counter poses you offered- such a balanced morning flow this was! More short morning vin videos please!

[@joybruhnke3828]

My word today is “Joy-filled”. Please, please, please more short yin practices in the morning!!! My favorite!

[@drlisakeith]

Yes please! 15-30 minutes is perfect. My word is peace.

[@miabergevin3454]

Loved this! Can’t wait to try more ☺️ My word today was “light”. Trying to find light from within instead of darkness and also light as a feather, letting go of control and flowing along. ❤️

[@annemariehusser7738]

My phrase for the day is "I Matter." I love this Yin Morning Stretch and Luna is so cute ;-)

[@SuzannaDiebes]

This was perfect - I felt achy when I woke up and the slow movements defintely helped me stretch! I would love to see more of these. My word for the day was “creativity”.

[@DecoupageIdeasfordesign]

My word for the day is “happy”

[@jonathanbaker2507]

I think this was amazing for a few reasons: you took your time and embodied all of the poses, the counterposes were excellent and you were gentle with everything. A short but very robust 18 minutes very well spent. You have a subscriber in me!

[@TheNidhima]

Love 15 minutes classes. My word is simple today - “happy”

[@beatricemetzler8700]

Today I chose the word “content”. Love the yin morning yoga, especially for the weekend

[@thepeacefulbillionaire]

Yes! Yes! Yes! 20 min morning Yin w/ intention, love it!! Wish you were still adding new Yin classes, I love you and your classes!! Much love!

[@clarea.6950]

Love these 20-25 minute yin practices. Thanks!

[@cherylhagymasy1257]

My word is playful. Loved the morning yin! Have a wonderful week everyone!

[@amyfrisino6964]

I would love more yin in the morning! My word was "energized".

[@elliotpearce2200]

wasnt a word, but my phrase is “the more i give the more i receive” i love starting my days with your videos!

[@2967_]

Good. I'm aiming for a good day and a good week. Happy Sunday everyone 😀.

[@jencollier8306]

My word is a phrase- everything is as it should be. Today my sweet 16 pup will go to the rainbow bridge and my heart is heavy. I gain so much in your practice, and I’m so grateful. Thank you for some peace in my heart today with this wonderful release.❤️

[@angelang5925]

More short morning yin’s. Yes please!!! My intention for the day is “focus”. Thank you, Kassandra for another great class.

[@user-de4tf3ch7b]

My intention today is ”enjoy/in joy” I am so blessed to be home with my 1 year old (who is sleeping poorly right now) so it’s a good reminder than although the night was tough, I enjoy so much being with him and it’s easy to find ways to be in a state of joy around a young, smiling, exploring child. Would love more short yin practices. Thank you so much ❤

[@michaelmcgarry413]

Kindness! And yes to more yin yoga. Thank you, Kassandra.

[@earthynovak]

More short yin and more Luna please! Thank you for your beautiful energy as always. My day is full of peace. 🙏🏽✨

[@Escopiu]

Thanks Kassandra !!! At my age , 62, and working hard as a doctor, every day after doing my prayers at 5 , I do this short practice before start the day. I start my day with clarity and energy and all my back paons disappeard Please, more like this 🙏

[@chanelbourdeau1951]

Hi Kassandra! My word today is Care. I would love to do more morning yin yoga practices with you! Some mornings I don’t have the energy for a flow practice - I’m in recovery from chronic stress, have PMDD and SAD and yin yoga is manageable and a good way for me to keep up a daily yoga practice when my body is asking me to take it easy.

[@ReclaimedRebel]

My Baby Pumpkin loves doing yoga with me and immediately lays down on my yoga blanket. He now loves watching Cleo while we practice. 🐈💜

[@Transformed12-2]

Yes to shorter yin’s in the morning!

[@Jo_spice_blackwood]

That was brilliant stretch after journaling.. I'm yet to watch your coffee chat catch-up vid, but will do Glad got to see lunar doing a perfect puppy and plank stretch.. my word! And my word is Acceptance.

[@yogawithkassandra]

haha she's the expert!

[@MariaGonzalez-nb4yb]

Word of the day "Light". I loved Luna in the class, she was so beautiful. Thank you for having her in your video :)

[@just_sadhana]

Yes to more morning Yin classes! And maybe a playlist if you dont mind. It was great class ans my word for today is PEACE.

[@YWiggy5]

My word for today is "love." When I love myself and am patient with myself, I can love others better. I also LOVED this yin yoga class. I haven't done yin yoga in months, and it felt great to slow down my practice. This was a great start to my day :)

[@lisbetguldbg2213]

Absolutly. It was like standing in a soft summer rainshower.

[@peggyanderson4389]

YES YES YES. More yin please! Have you ever done a 30-day yin challenge? 😊 My word of the day “invigorated”

[@ILostThemInABoatingAccident]

Yes, I am really loving the short Yin Yoga videos in the mornings. It’s the only way I’m able to do Yin with my busy schedule.

[@markelapapamichael8842]

“I am grounded and stable” Looove Morning Yin, would love more short videos like this one!!! I’m going through some thyroid,adrenal and gut issues and these short classes are the best to prevent any overexertion and to keep inflammation low... thank you so much 💖🤗

[@emmyarrignon4111]

Thanks for doing another short Yin practice!! 🙌🏼 It feels even more like a meditation/selflove moment ❤️ (Luna is amazing btw)

[@beckybackert]

Peace! Yes. I’m 70. Yin is the best for me. Love the short morning and would love more. This is my first with you. Namaste.

[@HeartliftCentral]

Please Kassandra! I can now take a 15 minute break from working at home to do yin! Life-changer! Thank you!

[@pamelapfluger1961]

My word is “inspired”, and I LOVE Luna and her puppy stretch! 💕

[@claudiarydel9157]

Yes please more short yin or gentle flow yoga. My word is “aware” 🙏🏻

[@Kylusbae]

My word for this morning was “present”. I often feel as if I’m not alive for the day ahead of me and I don’t acknowledge the fact that i mean a lot. Using the word present through this yoga practice helped me stay focus

[@christinesylvia7083]

Trust is my word. Would love more morning Yin routines. I am a beginner and this was just right for me. Thank you!

[@pattibouck6407]

“Peace”. This was great! Yes I would like more morning Yin practices. Thank you for sharing your gifts

[@ayaaly2866]

I love short yin flows it really helped calm today and that was everything I needed thank you

[@vickywitton1008]

Loved Luna demonstrating the right way to do upward and downward dog! Great practice!

[@maribellelebre6809]

Your shorter Yin series has been really helpful to me - especially living with Chronic Fatigue, among other chronic health issues that keep me in bed most of the time. This series makes it possible for me to move and even try a bit more. Thank you!

[@lorilippert6274]

Perfect way to start my Monday! Loved this sequence! Thank YOU!

[@yogawithkassandra]

Thanks for practicing :)

[@sarahsteb2423]

Kassandra, I have been a yogi since 2005 and during some of those years, I have grow closer to my practice and then other times further away. Recently I began following your videos since early Jan. starting with 10 min of morning yoga to get centered during lots of changes in my life. Those 10 mins have quickly grown to 20, 30, 45 when I have the time to dedicate. I tend to get impatient during yin classes and this morning's practice from this video was a beautiful way to remind myself to be patient and look for balance in my hectic schedule. I truly believe that part of what connects us to our practice is the connectedness that we feel to the teacher and you inspire me to trust my inner guide. Thank you so much Kassandra, I enjoy practicing with you and would love to see more morning Yin! Sarah B. Wilmington, NC

[@kaiawang9593]

Kassandra, I always thought the best way to start the day was some sweaty exercise or a brisk walk. But thanks to your videos, I realize that the best way to start my day is a Yin yoga practice plus meditation. It gives me a calm mood and clear mind for my day! So please share more morning Yin Yogas. Thank you.

[@deeannmacomson7651]

Peaceful presence was my “word” I love Luna. I had a dog named Billy that looked just like her ❤ Yes to short yin yoga for the morning! 🙏🙏🙏

[@hanneleenvanderreedoolaard5390]

My word was 'Me'. Today I want to be fully me

[@Xegy02]

My word is "synchronous". Yes I love short yin yoga classes in the morning! Starts my day right.

[@janabedard4885]

My word is peace and I love morning yin!

[@juliemcnulty1823]

My word for today is "grateful", always! I love your classes, Kassandra. Yes, I would love more 15-20 minute yin morning classes. Thank you.

[@debbiee...]

[@venitajackson556]

This one is a repeater for me and it’s always a good time. Luna is too cool 😎. My word for today is PEACE

Great morning yin! Love to all. Namaste!!!

[@katetag6623]

I have a practice exam today, so my word for the day is "calmness" Thank you, Kassandra, for this awesome yin yoga class, I feel great, just like Luna does!💜

[@ngronmark]

I’m so grateful I found you! 🙏🏻 I have Hashimotos and started doing 10-20 minutes with you every morning and it helps my body stay pain free and I feel energized and focused! It makes such a difference that my husband notices when I stop and reminds me to get back to it! Thank you! Thank you!

[@marilynpetty2509]

Morning Kassandra! Yes to short Yin stretches! My word is Discernment!❤

[@marysedumas7736]

I chose joy! I like short morning yin and short evening yin

[@n2cheese]

I have stuck to your yoga videos in the morning for 30+ days now and it has made a huge difference. I love your videos and I absolutely love the quick yin in the morning. Thank you!

[@patriciaalli4860]

Kassandra, I LOVE your Yin classes. Yes please, more morning practices!

[@AlissaSanders]

These short Yin classes are LIFE! Thank you ❤

[@franstorchn.d.2760]

Thanks so much for all the Yin! You are helping me heal some autonomic dysfunction. I like to do your classes in my yard, weather permitting. Today Cleo was purring during the class and a couple of catBIRDS were singing and meowing in my yard! 😻🐦❤️💕Thank you so much!!!

[@von-o5617]

Yes to more morning yin! Sometimes my mind is everywhere first thing and I need to calm it, other times my joints just don't want to wake up as fast as a vinyasa requires. Thank you!! My word for today- adventurous! Trying some things outside of my comfort today!

[@alyssanicolepeterson]

I was never really the biggest fan of yin yoga, especially in the morning. But last night I came across your ‘3 Principles of Yin Yoga’ KZbin short and I thought I would give it a try this morning. This was the best class I’ve ever done!! Your advice was so clear and made so much sense; I carried it with me throughout this entire class! I feel amazing, thank you Kassandra! Also my word of the day is ‘light’😁

[@anniekaruna3091]

Yes, to more short morning yin please. a deep bow of gratitude of what you offer so generously Kassandra! How is Luna?

[@georgiabot7675]

"calm" was my word for today, love the morning yin following my HIIT session, helping me stay grounded during another strict lockdown in Melbourne, Australia. Thank you so much Kassandra

[@megrut491]

Patience is my word to remember throughout my day.

[@jwmusic65]

Yes. Love morning yin yoga at 15-20 minutes. ❤

[@TheFEMMETASTICNetwork]

BIG YES to more Yin Morning Sessions! And BIG Thanks for you Kassandra. I love practicing Yoga with you!

[@georgietaylor6795]

More morning yin’s please. Or just yin for any time of the day 😍 I love this practice! Yesterday my word was gratitude, today the word I chose is love ❤️

[@smiller7369]

I'm getting back in to yoga after too many years of no yoga. I feel this is going to be the way to start my days. Thank you! My word for today is Clear

[@Jakumata]

Morning yin is incredible! Especially on the weekends it helps me to recenter and relax from the working week. Today I choose "calm".

[@amandarills7792]

My word is calm. Thank you for the consistent reminders to disregard any expectations you may have for your body... the second I had the thoughts arise, you said it!

[@ivanr5150]

Thank you Cassandra for your Yin yoga sessions. I have been doing your morning sessions for the past 1 month and I find they have surely stopped my brain from over thinking! I have also done your hormone balancing sessions as well a few times. Thank you for your lessons

[@kristinlamendola4091]

Yes to more short morning especially Yin. My word is strength!

[@danamiller_kitch3271]

I did this yin practice after doing a 20-minute gentle beginner morning practice. That one got my blood flowing and this one helped me stretch out and ground myself in my day. I started off with HAPPY but then at the end, it became HAPPY & HEALTHY. Thank you, Kassandra! I love your short videos, especially for yin. Sometimes, that’s all I’m in the mood for and sometimes, it’s just what I need to get inspired to do more. ❤️

[@meghnabaruah2363]

I absolutely love your short Yin yoga sessions.....especially at the end of the day. Fills my heart with ‘Gratitude ‘ which is the word that pops into my head and I believe it’s the best way to end a crazy,busy day 🙏Namaste ....much love 💕

[@cruzalopez]

Luna looks just like my dog! She was lying by my side too. When we first got our dog and tried to work out she thought it was play time and would jump all over us! I chose 'love' for my word - because love always feels amazing! And 'yes' to more yin yoga!

[@JessLugo]

Warmth. Yes to more Yin! And we love Luna's presence. Thank you for this great start.

[@azzabusheha3568]

Yes please more short yin morning especially for beginners and with props and more guidance (setting up the pose and where the stretch should be felt) the on positions.

[@coachingridvankollenburg8947]

Morning yin yoga is so great, so please more of these 15 minutes yin yoga video's ! My word was "love." Luna did too a great job at the end!

[@stratulatiuliana9643]

It was lovely to find a morning yin yoga practice that can have time to do; although shorter than your usual yin yoga practice (which is what I wanted, in fact), it helped me to achieve a great feeling of content, which was my intention for the day. My heart was happy to bathe in this warm space where she could just be. Namaste!
