Hi everyone, thank you so much for joining me in this (nearly) hour long yin yoga practice for self-care, rest and relaxation. This is a full body flexibility class suitable for all levels. I recommend having two blocks nearby or a bolster.
If you've been feeling depleted, stressed, burnt out or overwhelmed, this is a lovely practice to help you soothe your nervous system and get back to yourself. I don't talk very much when I teach yin yoga because I want you to take the opportunity to go inward and listen to your body's inherent wisdom. Less is always more in yin yoga.
I'll take you through poses like supported fish, supported bridge/butterfly, half butterfly, straddle, pigeon pose, child's pose and savasana.
What is Yin Yoga? Yin yoga is often called the Yoga of the joints because unlike other styles of yoga, the emphasis is not on the muscles but on the deep connective tissue. Connective tissue is made up of fascia, ligaments and tendons which surround and form your joints. Yin yoga improves the range of motion in your joints and also strengthens them. The results and benefits are more flexibility and greater range of motion and also more stability within your joints.
There are 3 principles of Yin Yoga.
1. Find your edge
2. Be still
3. Hold the pose

I'm a fairly new yoga teacher and nobody showed up to this mornings regularly scheduled class so instead of feeling disheartened, I'm taking the hour and the studio to myself for this practice. Thank you Kassandra 🙏🏼

[@ResultsWithRaveena]

The same happened to me! Sending you love x

[@amandatkids854]

Way to make the most of some ME time! Whether planned or just happened 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️

[@shamyamerali3183]

@@ResultsWithRaveena right back at you 💕 we keep going anyway!

[@OriginalFallofMind]

So sorry! Don't take it personal, people just do stuff like that. I would definitely show up!

[@caprimoon888]

Don’t give up and with that attitude of yoga you’ll do well ❤

[@lorie8437]

Hi Kassandra, just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying the Yin YOGA classes. I tried other types of yoga but Yin is the style for me. I am 65 years old and I do one of your Yin yoga classes almost every day and I just love the feeling I get from it. Your soothing voice and relaxing music is so nice. Thank you for these classes. I never thought I would find something that I enjoy so much!

[@becbell4913]

Perfect end for a long tough weekend in hospital for tests for my daughter. Shell be ok, and so will i, taking care of myself with this beautiful session. Xx

[@katharinefrench-fuller5226]

Love your yearly winter self-care/mental health Yin classes. They really do suit the needs of winter....

[@sylviaoesterwinter8858]

Kassandra, your videos have changed my life. My fibromyalgia pain is almost completely gone. Thank you for all you do for us. I have your Yin and Year of Yoga books and love those.

[@marsha1963]

I really enjoyed the music in this and seeing the dog passing through.

[@Sisa61]

Recovering from a stiff neck feeling guarded and vulnerable this was sooo soothing and trustful ❤ Thank you

[@sanciadavidson8263]

Thank You! That was yummy. I was going to go back to bed and do this later cause it's my day off... I am so glad I did this instead 😁

[@robinreid2232]

I Love all your classes . This is an Especially Lovely Yin Sequence Thank You💜🙏Namaste

[@ZenWithDebby]

This class was an absolute bliss! My body and mind feel super relaxed and zen, which is a wonderful feeling ☺. Loved staying for a longer amount of time in these poses. The side bends and hip openers felt amazing (the last one especially for my L-hip as it was holding lots of tension). Thank you, Kassandra. Have a magical new week ✨💖

[@jennifermary2350]

I don’t usually like Yin yoga but with the help of a bolster, 2 blocks and a thin cushion I managed to get comfortable in most of the poses & was surprised how quickly it went. I shall definitely not shy away from Yin again! Thank you Kassandra for this calming relaxing class. 🙏 Namaste

[@christinachrobokowa2946]

Thanks!

[@MaryEllenNoris-Adams]

Flickering candles, red sky sunrise……powerful way to start my day. Sending prayers for peace from Santa Fe, NM. Many thanks Kassandra🙂

[@fernandospencernetto7969]

That was a lovely session! 5 years ago, when I first visited your KZbin I would not finished or enjoyed, but today was just a wonderful feeling! Tx for this transformation!

[@myspeedy689]

Very nourishing. Many thanks 🙏

[@maserofkennels7316]

Thank you Kasandra for this lovely Yin class. I've been doing your classes daily for a long time and love them all. The last 3 weeks I haven't been able to do any yoga due to being diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my neck and spine. This is the 1st class I have done and I feel great for it.Thank you x

[@daniwilson3631]

I'm feeling pretty down today so this practice was just what I needed. Thanks Kassandra!!!

[@michelekramer5864]

me too! and feeling grateful for the soothing effects of this practice

[@carolpridgeon8200]

Thank you so much Kassandra. I am in a kundallini awakening and this morning I woke to so much intense energy in my body. I walked my yard barefoot, sat at my pond and drank tea, and then I found this class. I feel better which is a blessing. Thanks again for your generous heart. Namaste'

[@meganmarch8769]

Oof... I was hoping this practice would be just what I needed today. I've been feeling very disregulated since I lost my job, am out of money, & have spent a lot of time in the last few days with my emotionally exhausting parent. Unfortunately, the total stillness heightened my anxiety quite a bit. I believe that's telling me something, though. I also have problems with pain in my right hip, & unfortunately poses that encourage looseness in it & relax the surrounding muscles cause very intense pain, so the supported bridge pose brought on very sharp, intense pain, & really the only pose in this video that felt nice for me today was the swan pose. I definitely learned/was reminded of useful things from this though! This practice didn't quite have the intended effect on me of being nourishing & relaxing, but it did pretty directly force me to notice how gentle I need to be with my hip at the moment and it reminded me through the intense feelings of restlessness that I've really been slipping in my mindfulness practice & that I need to be meditating a lot more. In that sense, definitely a very helpful video! Hopefully I'll get to a point in the near future where I'll be able to experience the full intended effects of this practice. 💛

[@FanyTel777]

Hi Kassandra, what a great new Yin Yoga Practice is this. I really enjoyed and highly appreciated it. Nice to see the snow and your dog ;)

[@astridcooper9391]

I keep coming back to this session. Just love it. Thanks Kassandra.

[@binnahboo5977]

Awesome. Was going to my usual fave, reclined Yin, but will give this a go. Love the music on the reclined Yin one, I go somewhere else when I do that one

[@maridomingo8281]

Got extra cozy with a blanket for this one and it was wonderful. Thank you for another stress relief yin yoga practice!

[@issarasimoneedwards2810]

Exactly what I needed today - THANK YOU!!! 🙌🙏

[@Muniraamorporladanza.]

Thank you so much. I cried and all.. like all stress went out and I remembered who I really am. Love, light, hope, wisdom and faith and I should not let anyone take my light from me.

[@simplyb93]

Was planning on yin today, trusting the universe for the right video, and of course she delivered with this one! Love the sequence, although I did end up holding each pose for an extra minute or two and added a melting heart posture before the child’s pose. Many thanks and namaste💛

[@lindablowers-sulzdorf6852]

Two things I absolutely love about your classes...1: you're not chit chatty, only very helpful pointing out what to observe when assuming a pose and 2. you always include some poses that focus on the hips which I consistently need and appreciate. So happy I found your channel. Thank you so much. p.s. I also enjoy your background music selections.

[@kellyr3816]

Thanks so much as always kassandra! I cant express the gratitude i feel for your yin yoga classes. They really help me to take care of myself emotionally, as all these full body yin classes help me to release trapped emotions that i sometimes didnt even realise i was holding. Plus the physical relaxation and space i feel afterwards is so so important to me. Thank you from my heart 🙏❤
