What is Yin Yoga? Yin yoga is MAGIC. Well, that is how I would describe it. Yin yoga is a practice that that allows you to go beyond the superficial layers of the body and access the deeper layers. This means in a Yin Yoga practice you are going beyond the muscles and right into the deep connective tissues of the body. Our connective tissues are made up of fascia, ligaments and tendons which surround and form our joints. Therefore, when you practice Yin Yoga you are able to increase your range of motion, your flexibility and strengthen your joints. A win win! If you ask me. Yin yoga is more than stretching, we are “stressing” the connective tissues and we do this with longer holds and intuitive breathing.
When practicing always remember
1. Meet the pose at YOUR edge (gradually)
2. Find stillness and focus on your breath
3. Resolve to be still

[@anoukwerder6924]

@@YogawithShaunneka It felt great indeed ! 🤩 But during the side wide leg pose I couldn’t fell any side stretch at all (I tried everything 😅), so I ended up doing the regular wide leg pose 😁

[@YogawithShaunneka]

@@anoukwerder6924 You gotta reach! lol and keep your bum low... or maybe your side-body is fairly open? glad you enjoyed it otherwise!

[@anoukwerder6924]

@@YogawithShaunneka I definitely think that my body is fairly open 🤩😅

[@yasdnilr]

I’ve been contemplating this seq for three weeks, wondering if it was too hard for my shoulders - and it was!!! But somehow it has made me feel so much lighter and cheerier and I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders - a pun, I know, but no less true. Plus I finally got to use my eye pillow and had no idea the video had ended ❤️ Thank you, Shaunneka! Legendary as always

[@YogawithShaunneka]

Glad you gave it a go!😊

[@jenniferS7777]

My upper body feels soo much better after this practice, thank you! Never thought I’d say this but I’m kind of missing the toe squats, haha!

[@YogawithShaunneka]

LOL! that's funny. I might have to bring it back in an upcoming class 😆😉

[@dianepotteryoga]

That was beautiful

[@YogawithShaunneka]

Glad you enjoyed it Diane🥰

I’ve hardly slept for a couple weeks now due to back, shoulder, and neck pain. I did this before bed and I already know I am going to get an great nights sleep tonight. I’ve completed many yoga practices and there are some clever and creative poses in this one that really just hit all the sweet spots. Thank you so much 🙏🏽

[@YogawithShaunneka]

Thanks for sharing! I'm happy to hear you're finding some relief🙏🏾

[@_bravegirljessica_]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@YogawithShaunneka]

You’re welcome 😊

[@heidimazo3333]

I really liked your routine, and you have a really cool vibe, but maybe a little soft music in the background would be an improvement

[@YogawithShaunneka]

Thanks for the tips! 🙏🏽🤎

[@cielle3546]

Loved this! Could you please do one without props?

[@YogawithShaunneka]
