Therapeutic Yin Yoga | Tight Hips & Low Back | Long Holds

Therapeutic yin yoga and long holds are the perfect recipe to soothe and comfort your tight hips and low back. This yin yoga class will gently open up any tightness in the hips while relieving low back tension.

I created this class for those who are experiencing low back pain BUT are also looking for more accessible/gentler poses. In this practice, we move through 3 postures, holding them for approx. 4.5-5 min each and we finish with a bit of hamstring work to balance everything out.

My hope is that by the end of todays practice, you feel more at ease in your body and find the comfort you have been seeking. #yogaforlowbackpain #yogahips #yinyoga

P.S. If you are experiencing knee discomfort in butterfly place a block under each knee.

YOU WILL NEED: NO PROPS however, you may decide to use 1 BLOCK and 1 STRAP.

Grab your coffee, tea or coco water and meet me on the mat!

Be sure to let me know how it went for you in the comments!

What is Yin Yoga? Yin yoga is MAGIC. Well, that is how I would describe it. Yin yoga is a practice that that allows you to go beyond the superficial layers of the body and access the deeper layers. This means in a Yin Yoga practice you are going beyond the muscles and right into the deep connective tissues of the body. Our connective tissues are made up of fascia, ligaments and tendons which surround and form our joints. Therefore, when you practice Yin Yoga you are able to increase your range of motion, your flexibility and strengthen your joints. A win win! If you ask me. Yin yoga is more than stretching, we are “stressing” the connective tissues and we do this with longer holds and intuitive breathing.

When practicing always remember

1. Meet the pose at YOUR edge (gradually)
2. Find stillness and focus on your breath
3. Resolve to be still
