Yin Yoga to Release the Hips

Release tension from the shoulders, upper back, chest, and ribs this yin for the heart sequence with long-held postures. Slow breaths are vital to helping you ease into each shape as you mindfully notice the bodily sensations with the help of gravity. A block or bolster nearby will help deepen the grounding effects of the body throughout the practice

Cultivating a quiet mind is not necessarily switching off the mind; you want to dial down the busy mind instead. This class will guide you through the three principles of yin yoga practice as you come into each pose as your own and breathe deeply to settle the body passively into the pose while finding stillness.

This class focuses on the deep connective tissues to improve the range of motions of the shoulders. As you settle into each pose, try not to fidget while observing the sensations in the upper body in stillness. Being still once you are in the posture will let the muscles completely relax so the benefits can get into the connective tissues and joints.
