Therapeutic Yin Yoga | Compress & Twist | Spine, Shoulders & Hips

[@tonigisellestuart]

Shaunneka, I love your classes so much. This particular one is helping me get back to a daily yin yoga practice in a way that feels nourishing and gentle and like a warm hug. I appreciate your care, warmth & incredible skill, immensely. Thank you for your heart-work

[@YogawithShaunneka]

You are most welcome 🙏🏽 ❤️

Hi there! I searched for yin yoga and I scrolled until I found a Brown person so this is my first time seeing your channel and I am so grateful to you for creating all of these yin videos!!! I adore yin yoga, and I also adore the high quality representation! Two years ago I began the process of intentionally looking for Brown femme everything - authors, exercise instructors, yoga channels etc. I say high quality because for safety purposes it is really important that teachers/instructors give specific and timely cues (especially since we’re not in a studio where they can correct my technique). Anyway, you can’t control your skin color, but you can choose to shoot videos, edit and post them. You do choose to give specific instructions. You do choose to record in a sweet and aesthetically pleasing space. So for all the choices you’ve made to create this bomb content, I send gratitude and appreciation to you. Go off! 🏆🎖🏆👑

[@YogawithShaunneka]

Hi Shima! This means so much 🥰🙏🏾 So glad you've found my channel and happy to have you here 😊🤎

[@Lillyunn]

So, glad I found you and your love for twists, which I've been looking for, because they feel so good! Also, I get such results from twist poses and you are a genius at explaining!

[@YogawithShaunneka]

Awh, thank you so much! I hope you continue to enjoy the practices ❤️

[@coyrinnie]

[@christine1962ful]

I've been following Kassandra for a long time, but found you for some time before Kassandra's recommendation. It makes me so happy that she recommends your channel, and the sisterhood between the female yogis! I love your longer holds yin yoga sessions.

[@YogawithShaunneka]

I was fairly new to the KZbin space and happy to hear the news as well. Boy does time fly! Thank you for practicing with me!🥰

This was the perfect sequence of twists. The length of the poses was a fantastic challenge that released the tension I've been carrying. Truly therapeutic! I am saving this video.

That's great to hear. Glad you're feeling refreshed! :)

[@ZenWithDebby]

This felt really amazing, especially on the hips. I slept so bad last night, but this Yin class really helped with recharging my body and mind. Thank you so much 🩷✨

[@YogawithShaunneka]

You're welcome! 😊

[@nonesuchone]

Fantastic! I feel wrung out in the best of ways. I noticed an itchy feeling along my sides / belly after some of the more intense stretching; Maybe that’s the fascia stretching you mentioned. Thanks for the practice.

[@YogawithShaunneka]

You're so welcome! Feeling itchy is pretty normal. I've experienced it a few times myself and have heard the same from my students. 😊💜

[@tiatialove]

My mind, body, and spirit thank you!

[@YogawithShaunneka]

Happy to hear that 🙏🏽

[@carinaskinner8705]

Oh my goodness, that was exactly what I never knew I needed! haha My T-spine feels amazing now, and I loved the supine spinal twists, the second variation was amazing for my hips and got deep into my intercostals. SO GOOD!

[@YogawithShaunneka]

So glad it helped!💛😊

[@KellyAK]
