Hey yogis, this week's free yoga class is a yin yoga practice for your spine! Whether you have back pain or just want to improve your overall spine flexibility, these are my favorite poses that target the area.
You'll want to have two blocks close by for this practice or some large couch cushions. We'll play with lateral flexion, extension and spinal rotation. This class is suitable for all experience levels.
Remember that if it hurts, you've gone too far! Never force your way into a pose and come out of it early if you need to.
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
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.

[@ryanwinston5066]

you prolly dont care but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can watch pretty much all the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my brother for the last weeks =)

[@rodrigodevon1152]

@Ryan Winston Definitely, I've been using instaflixxer for since december myself :D

[@mairavp]

I've been missing more yin yoga classes such as this one.

[@EJ-demitrovitch]

I don’t usually comment but oh my gosh did this do wonders for my arms ❤❤❤

[@FlossontheMill]

Super Yin practice after a stressful day. Just what I needed thank you Kassandra for taking us on this journey of relaxation. 😊

[@arianescheubeck-schiene6445]

My lower back was so painful at the beginning, child’s pose hurted terrible. After the 30 minutes I did it again. No more pain. Really great exercise!

[@vasanthiambikapathi5831]

Great flow and helped relief my back pain ❤

[@Artspeaketh]

gratitude for every practice with you. Namaste!

[@Erousey]

Nighttime friendly, relaxing, and very decompressing for my spine!

[@naveenkumar747]

You are amazing, I did this for second time, I have an amazing experience

[@marycarmenflores4840]

It was great! Thanks for doing and sharing a beautiful class!

[@louisemclinden2160]

I love your classes.

[@hudar4542]

Amazing, I feel so much lighter.

[@danielbaldi320]

I haven't tried this one yet, but I can certainly testify that following your classes (which I try to do everyday), my back is no longer in pain, my flexibility has improved greatly and unbelievably without the old fashioned method of forcing my body. It's taken me a while to set the mind to "no pain, more gain" coming from a martial arts background, but once you've got it, the benefits are astounding. All I can say is THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

[@yogawithkassandra]

Thank you for sharing!! Coming from a dance background I had a very similar experience, it took me years to shake off the "no pain, no gain" mentality.

[@andreafox1730]

I enjoyed this practice thanks, Kassandra. Just what I needed. ❤

[@judibaldock7378]

Loved this session... my 2021 goal is to do more yin yoga ... love your sessions ..x😀

This practice is amazing. Coming back for my second day in a row!!

[@dakotadedreu1451]

I have a pinched nerve in my back and your yin classes on yputube have really bee a life saver to help lengthen my muscles and relieve some compression/tension. I usually do a lot of strenth building and advanced classes/poses, but with my body being the way its condition, it's like it's telling me to slow down and breathe and just release. Sometimes I forget the importance of that and I just wanted to express gratitude for you putting these yin classes put there for us who really need it. Gracias chica❤💛💚💙💜

[@worldview730]

A very peaceful therapeutic experience 🙏

[@annapowell1299]

I have been so stressed lately. Not sleeping, doing too much work. This helped a lot thank you! I appreciate the editing work that went into this too. I loved that you switched up the music, so the same track wasn't playing the entire time.

[@ranjupatel9623]

How wonderful to start the day with a loosened up back and no tightness or pain! Thanks Kassandra! I rarely do the yin classes but I know my body could use more of them! Something new to try...aloha!

[@DecherWayte]

This session has been so nice for releasing stress and holding in my back and hips. Thank you for the calm, quiet practice where I can be guided but be by myself so much.

Hi Kassandra! I am new to your channel. Really been enjoying the couple of videos I've done so far. I have been following Yoga with Adriene for over three years, still loving her but happy to find a channel with more yin yoga. I am a yin yoga teacher myself so I'm sure I will be finding lots of inspiration from your channel. Namaste

[@KevinTaber-datsunfocus]

Great practice. I had a lot of back muscles pain from going back to work after a 2 month leave. Yin yoga is my favorite so I can really focus on my breath and go extra deep into each pose. Thanks so much!!

[@ReiTuG]

So beautiful!

[@beverlyleighton5880]

Wow! What a wonderful class! It's early evening and I've got plans to go out. There's nothing more I'd like than just soaking in a bath now, but ironically at the same time, I feel almost invigorated and ready for what comes my way! Thank you so much. Absolutely lovely!xo

[@bobnCarlo]

Thank you ❤️🍄❤️🍄
