Day 3: DEEP Back Stretch Yin Yoga | 5-Minute Holds

Day 3 of our challenge focuses on the Back, using deep, 5-minute holds to release tension along the entire spine. From the forward fold of Dangling to the heart-opening Supported Fish, this class is a reset for your posture.

What to Expect:
This 25-minute practice is slightly longer to ensure we fully release the back in all directions. We move through flexion, extension, and rotation to wring out stiffness.

This 5-minute hold yin yoga sequence is designed to target the muscles in your back, providing a sense of relaxation and stress relief after a long day at work. Practicing yoga at home has never been easier, and this video is perfect for those looking to unwind after work with some relaxing yoga. Our yin yoga class will guide you through a series of long hold poses, helping to increase your flexibility and range of motion, while also improving your overall back health. By incorporating yin yoga into your daily routine, you can expect to see improvements in your flexibility training, as well as a reduction in stress and tension. So why not take a few minutes out of your day to practice some yoga for back health, and discover the benefits of yin yoga for yourself.

Poses used:
• Dangling Pose (Spine decompression)
• Supported Fish (Chest & upper back opener)
• Reclined Twist (Spinal rotation)

Props needed: You will definitely need a block (or a firm cushion) for Supported Fish.

Safety Note:
⚠️ Teacher Tip: The spine loves support. In Dangling, keep a generous bend in your knees if your lower back feels tight—this isn't about touching your toes! For Supported Fish, start with your block on the lowest height. If you feel pinching in the lower back, lower the block or remove it completely.
