Hey yogis, this week I'm offering you another Yin Yoga & Affirmations class focusing on the emotions of JOY and OPTIMISM! Something I could personally use a bit more of lately..
This is a lovely full body stretch and you'll need two blocks. If you don't have these close by, you can use some pillows or cushions. By first opening the body and softening in this way, I find it so much easier to get in touch with the emotional body. This is a full body Yin Yoga practice to open up your chest, low back, hips and hamstrings.
In each pose you'll hear me state one affirmation which you are encouraged to internally repeat. Notice how the statement makes you feel and if it creates resistance. Keep a journal close by to make note of anything that may have come up for you.
AFFIRMATIONS USED:
My day begins and ends with gratitude and joy.
Good things are coming my way, I'm ready.
I choose to feel optimistic, confident and capable.
Joy is my birthright.
I trust that my life is unfolding exactly as it should.
I choose to see the good in every situation.
My creative potential is endless.
I am unique and it is my greatest strength.
Life supports me in every possible way.
I have a positive mindset, good things are coming.
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’ve just had someone die in my family so I will do this asap.

[@rp2861]

Dear Kassandra, thank you so much for this class. It helped me a lot. I would like to use these affirmations daily, maybe after one of your short yoga classes because unfortunately I don’t have 45 minutes every morning. Could you do a short meditation with these specific affirmations to match with your short morning yoga classes? It is just an idea, in any case I want to thank you again endlessly for all your help and your beautiful yoga classes. Sending you my good vibes! You re an inspiring person ❤️

[@kellysavvides2078]

Kassandra, as a mother, I feel your parents must be so proud of you. You are making such a sincere and meaningful contribution to the world. So glad you have chosen this path, it feels so right for you to be doing this and we are truly grateful to be in receipt of your teaching. Namaste xo

[@shellyelly77]

What an ideal way to gently end 2023. Kassandra, I found you at the beginning of the year. You helped me decide to stop smoking and see it through to now. You comforted me through the loss of my little 22 year old cat and enabled my grieving process. You are a vital force in my learning to live well with trauma. You matter to me and so many others. Thank you, fondly. Happy New Year, beautiful woman. 💌

[@compassionateconversations441]

[@BraveDogTrainingOnline]

I love it 🥰🥰 even my fearful pup relaxed a lot with me during this session 🥰

[@91anullkaa]

Coming back to this practice again and again ❤️

[@riannbakes]

Kassandra, to add to the millions of comments telling you that you've changed someone's life... You have changed my life. I'm in teacher training and have had a few emotional experiences while doing affirmation work, but this is the first time I just completely broke out into tears mid-pose. "Good things are coming my way, and I'm ready." Something about it in type-form seems simple, but it made me sob into my mat. It felt so, so good. I stopped crying and finished the practice, and I don't quite remember the last time I felt this level of peace. Thank you so much, as always. I say thank you after each of your classes out loud (LOL, sad but true), but I know I should thank you directly. So, again... Thank you so much for changing my life.

[@doreenbowens437]

This might sound strange, but I cried, during Savasana. Why did I have the opposite reaction? Yet I felt relieved and confronted my day with loads of positive light and joy. Namaste!

[@ReikiontheRun]

Probably just an emotional release that manifested in tears. I see it as a good thing.

[@Yogawithnitika]

Impact on your heart chakkara you should work on it

[@electricaleyegri-virtual5677]

I love your videos. Thank you for teaching 😀

I so love your classes ,!, Have learned loads from your classes. 👏

[@KC-px4jb]

I love your yin yoga sessions. Yesterday I did the 1.5 h one, it was absolute bliss. You're so clear in your explanations, so precise in the communication. I'd love to see much longer videos..or I guess I have to do a few in a row :)

[@yogawithkassandra]

Thanks so much!

[@kanlithunder]

Later on in the class, this variation on the second affirmation came up: "I am a good thing coming someone else's way, and they are ready." Thank you for a wonderful session, Kassandra.

[@suchitrarathnam470]

A beautiful, serene flow helping to connect with All there is and all within so gently. Deeply integrative. Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏

I'm not sure how I found this practice today but it was exactly what I needed. Thank you 🙏❤️

[@esmeblair2625]

Thankyou. A lovely practice for the end of the week

[@Chronopod]

I allowed myself to do yin yoga. I listened to something you said in a recent update, and decided to give it a try. I used to think it was boring, but now I realize that it's actually a great time for prayer. Especially the way you opened the class, allowing us to respond (whether negative or positive), to the affirmations. The best part of this class is getting to spend time with you :) My body does feel light, though, and I love, love, love the affirmations. Thank you so, so much!!!

[@manchillsound9100]

So helpful~! Time for a long-term commitment for body tune-up. Thank you~!

[@jenniferdouglas-joseph4847]

Thanks so much for this beautiful class Kassandra! I have done some of your shorter affirmation classes, but have not done any of the longer session before, like this one. It may have been unconscious avoidance on my part. During shavasana, I noticed that tears were dripping from my eyes. I am not sure when it started. It may have been during banana pose. I also had fruitful thoughts about perusing future goals, things that I have been trying to figure out. Kassandra, you are greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

[@zoegilbert5816]

tears, visions of my inner child being held and loved by me now. It's wonderful to remember we all deserve joy

[@amalitaangulo4770]

[@TheMajestic1971]

I really seen a change in my life when doing classes with positive affirmations, in yoga or meditations.. I know it may sound silly, some called it coincidence, but I choose to belief that a positive mindset, even in trying times, will reward you from directions you never knew existed. Thanks Kas 🙏

[@kellysavvides2078]

not silly at all Michael. In fact, in trying times, a postive mindset is absolutely crucial. Good things are happnening to all of us. Take care
