Hey yogis, it's been a while since I've done a yin yoga class just for the hips & hamstrings! This is a 60 minute yoga class that will help you improve flexibility in the lower body.

Hip openers are some of the most intense yin yoga asanas there are, so it's important to respect your limits and use props! In this class I'll be using 2 blocks but you may also want to have some pillows and bolsters close by just in case.

PRINCIPLES OF YIN YOGA: https://youtu.be/xyAY1zyuDeg

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. Although your muscles will also be stretched, that is not the focus of the practice. It is best to practice yin yoga while your muscles are cold and NOT warmed up, even if that sounds counter intuitive. The reason we do this is so that we can send the "stress" and the "Stretch" to the connective tissues. If the muscles are warm they will steal the focus away from the joints.

There are 3 principles of Yin Yoga.
1. Find your edge
2. Be still
3. Hold the pose

Use as many props as needed in Yin Yoga! Blocks, bolsters and straps are all great ways to support your body to make sure you are respecting your edge and not going too far.
