Yin Yoga For Back Pain, Muscle Knots, Neck Pain & Headaches - YogaCandi

- Props needed: Yoga blocks (or stacked books)
- Save this yoga video by giving it a thumbs up for quick access whenever you need it.
Welcome to this Yin Yoga Class for back pain, muscle knots, neck pain & headaches. During this yin yoga sequence we will be focusing on opening up the shoulders with yoga asanas like puppy pose, releasing the lumbar spine (lower back) with supported back bending yoga poses like bridge, as well as releasing spinal and neck tension with gentle yoga twists.
This class is suitable for everyone (yoga for beginners). Helping to gently and mindfully relieve symptoms like lower back pain, upper thoracic back pain, neck and head pain, and cultivate a general sense of health and well being, creating inner peace and relaxation through conscious pranayama breath.
Wear something comfortable if you don’t own any yoga wear, and make sure you’re practicing on a soft, non slip surface like a carpet if you don’t yet own a yoga mat.
Namaste my friends, I so hope you enjoy this yoga video, if you do leave me a comment to let me know how it made you feel.
Sending love and light,
Candace

This was such a beautiful and relaxing class. My body really needed the gentle stretches as I'm "suffering" from a throat cold. Thank you Candace 💖

[@YogaCandi]

Thank you so much for the link. I'm gonna practice this class right now 🥰💗

[@mianutt]

I had a headache for over 24 hours, mostly due to stiff neck and shoulder pain. Was worried it was going to turn into a migraine. Instead of painkillers and sleep, I thought I'd try some yin yoga first. SO glad I found this video! The shoulder and neck stretches helped immensely, and I could hear my bones cracking back into place once the muscles were relaxed. Saved me from a migraine and a trip to the chiropractor!

[@YogaCandi]

Oh wow, that's so incredible to hear! I'm so glad my class left you in such a positive, healed state, that's what yoga is all about. You were wise to give yoga a shot first ;) And thank you so much for deciding to join me on the mat. Sending love from the UK x

[@YogaCandi]

Thank you, Ramesh 🙏

[@ShraddaNiche]

You always bring me back to self care forgiveness and caring for how miraculous life is. And today was pretty bad before I got here. I have a terrible tooth ache. And I am beating myself up for eating to much sugar. Instead I am going to journal the discomfort do yoga and breath. Thankyou Candi for being here for me for all these years.

[@Slayeria]

That tip to hold elbow while stretching neck is a game changer! I will be using that daily. Thank you for your no-rush style and calming voice. Migraine is starting to feel better.

[@YogaCandi]

So glad that tip was so helpful, I love it too, it feel wonderful to get a little deeper. 🙏😊

[@ShraddaNiche]

I love this class and would love to share it with everyone. I absolutely feel so excited about this practice and this channel in General. I pray that many more people find you, as you clearly have a gift to give. Your combination: aptitude, genuine compassion and clear guidance is the perfect storm for any level to be challenged, refreshed and I find myself meditating in your practices in particular, were as, other on line classes I am more involved in the asana. ( which is not a bad thing) just a different experience. NAMASTE

[@YogaCandi]

So glad you loved it, my lovely friend! It is wonderful to have a total wind-down sometimes to allow ourselves to completely tune into the inner body. I'm so very glad my classes bring you into a state of meditation while practising, that's true yoga ;) Namaste Alethea, have a wonderful week beautiful yogi x

[@laurathriftyfrugal7789]

[@YogaCandi]

My pleasure, Laura, so glad you enjoyed it 🌸🙏🏼

[@maryp8734]

One of my favourite yoga flows on your channel!

[@debsouthie728]

After a busy few days moving house sits this is just what I needed! I love the energy I get from my usual Vinyasa flow practice but this allowed me to slow things right down, tune into my body and breathe... I feel energised in a different way and ready for the day ahead. Thank you Candice x

[@YogaCandi]

So glad this Yin Yoga Class came to you at just the right time Deb, and totally agree, it really is wonderful to take some time every week to do a more restorative practice, tuning in and finding inner peace is so important. It's also great to hear it left you feeling energised to Deb, I often feel that way after Yin Yoga, it's like my body is saying "well, that's what I needed, batteries recharged, let's do this" hehe. Have a wonderful week, sending love and light xx

[@racheleredgatePT]

Just what my body needed today!! Thank you!

[@YogaCandi]

You're so welcome, Rachele, really glad you enjoyed it beautiful lady. Sending love to you and your family. 🙏

[@YogaCandi]

So glad it helped you, Marina, and really glad you found me too 😊 Subscribe and click the bell to be notified of new classes 🙏

[@ursulagschwind8157]

Thank you so much, ist was sooo good for my headache!❤️

[@YogaCandi]

Awesome to hear it helped you Ursula 🙏

[@sandrinele5884]

Thank you so much Candi! Exactly what I needed. Hearing the birds in the background does help to relax ;-) The only thing I struggled a bit with was putting the block at its highest side in the shoulder bridge exercise. So I used the medium height but not quite the sensation I guess I should have felt. I have a very stiff and sensitive back generally speaking.

[@YogaCandi]

My absolute pleasure, Sandrine! So glad you enjoyed the class, and even happier to hear you listened to your body and modified the bridge pose, it may not have felt as intense as doing the full pose but you were true to yourself and to the principles of yoga by being kind to yourself, that's a wonderful thing. Even a tiny backbend can be beneficial so having done it the way you did, would still have done your spine a world of good. Namaste friend, keep enjoying this beautiful practice! Sending love, Candace xxx www.yogacandi.com

[@queenofdataheads]

I searched for headache + yin. I found your class. I just finished and noticed my sinuses opened up. Your instructions are very detailed and help me to follow without opening my eyes. Subscribed. Thanks for the sweet birds 🕊 in the background. 🙏🏻❤️

[@YogaCandi]

Ah, you're so welcome, I'm so happy this class helped so much. Thank you for subscribing, I'm really glad you found me and hope you continue to enjoy the channel 🙏💕

[@robertbehan9186]

Namaste 🙏🏽. Thank you for this practice. Do you have a yin yoga for sciatica and for hips (triochantic bursitis). Also, my inner thighs are tender too the touch (same as outer)

[@YogaCandi]

Hey Robert, sorry to hear that and sure I have this class for sciatica, hope you find it helpful - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3unqJuAeLVretU... Here's the full yin yoga playlist in case you wanted to try any other classes as well - kzbin.info/aero/PLN2XZMIEHTOaDA3WVTWObIDNUNVEgw4a3. Let me know how you get on 🙏

[@shreddhead23]

😊🙏💯

[@YogaCandi]

😊🙏

[@Duffy486]

Thankyou so much for this class. Do you have a video you'd recommend for helping with a tilted pelvis? I really enjoyed this class but still had quite an arched lower back which I noticed during the last pose. Thank you.

[@YogaCandi]

So glad you enjoyed this class so much, I don't have a tilted pelvis-specific video. I'll add it to my list of what to film. 🙏🥰

[@laxmibagh7667]

Do you train online?

[@YogaCandi]

No not yet, Laxi, I don't offer teacher training, but perhaps one day 😊🙏

[@roxyuritescu9085]

This isn’t yin yoga, you are talking way too much and not letting gravity do it’s work when encouraging so much engagement!

[@YogaCandi]

Sorry you feel this way, Roxy, I can always recommended other classes if this one wasn't for you. Sending love and light 🙏
