1 Hour Yin Yoga Class for Flexibility - Full Body Deep Stretch

Increase flexibility with this 1 hour full body deep stretch yoga class.

My Christmas gift to you is an indulgent, hour long yin yoga class for flexibility! Stretch out your hips, shoulders, hamstrings and low back with this lovely sequence that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and comfortable in your own body. You will need two blocks for this practice and a blanket is optional but nice to have.

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 felxibility 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 counterintuitive. 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.

Happy holidays everyone! Please remember to subscribe to my channel and give the video a thumbs up.

Thanks for watching,
Kassandra

I started Yin Yoga six years ago, after the lost of my mother, with this video and it changed my life completely!
You helped me getting over the lost and to allow myself to deeply rest in my daily life. Since then Yin Yoga is a regular practice for me. Thank you for your courage starting a YouTube channel and sharing your wisdom, love and creativity. I recommended you to many of my patients during the last years 🙏❤️🙏.

My holiday gift to you is an hour long yin yoga session for flexibility! That's two yin yoga classes in a week :) Enjoy my friends! Happy Holidays!

This was absolutely scrumptious! ♥️ Added to my favorites. Kassandra - it is beautiful to see how you have matured in your practices watching these older videos. I love it. ❤

[waggingooddogtraining]

This is one of my favorite videos to do. So relaxing and really helps my whole body feel better. Thank you Kassanedra! You have no idea what your yoga has done for me. A year and a half now of doing your videos.

I'm a new subscriber and I LOVE this sequence. I have been doing it before bed and I get the most restful sleep and awake refreshed. I love the calmness of the music, the lack of unnecessary talking and the simple explanations. Excellent work Kassandra! I look forward to more.

[catharinepizzarello]

I especially love the way you allow quiet time, I understand that many instructors want to share their philosophy, but it can be distracting during a Yin class.

[robinfarrington]

12 years practicing yoga, and I have never done Yin Yoga. What a pleasure just before bed. Thank you Kassandra!

[ROXFRONTINI]

Absolutely Amazing Class!!!! 🙌🏽✨💜 🙌🏽✨💜 🙌🏽✨💜

i feel amazing after this! these days as i’m getting older, yin is my favorite type of yoga

[TheRcDrake]

Wow, that variation of puppy pose was next level. My shoulders thank you.

[nancy]

Thank you. I have been a life-long fitness enthusiast(starting in the 80s), dancer and aerobics instructor. With my diagnosis of MS, my flexibility has become horrible. I finally decided to get out of my own way and start yoga. Your class is easy to follow and I now feel like I may be able to get my flexibility back. That will go a long way in helping me keep running even after 15 years of MS. Thank you!!

[carolpridgeon]

Dear Kassandra, I just love this yin yoga class. I feel so privileged to be able to do yoga with you. This is my favorite yin yoga class at the moment. I also love your yoga class for the end of the day. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and your Spiritual Practice. Namaste'

[jenilawson]

Awww kitty. Loved this class. So glad to see you offer yin classes as well a yang(flow) classes.

[kelb]

This has got to be the best yin routine for the day after legs I have ever done! Thank you so much!

[collisto]

This is my FAVORITE video from this channel. Simply because you are not talking as you are doing the poses, but rather your voice is in the background, . This makes the atmosphere so soothing for me <3

[MBosEs]

I have been doing some yin classes from other people but always return to you as you have by far the best yin yoga sessions. Hopefully, you will upload some more long ones.Thanks Kassandra

[mjrussell]

I promise I kept my fidgeting to a minimum. This is the third hour long video of hers that I have tried and now have added to my list of routines to choose for my daily yoga practice. I started off earlier this year with 10-15 min videos, then 25-30, maybe doing two videos back to back. I have taken the plunge into committing to a full hour. I didn’t think I could keep my mind from wandering but I try to stay in the moment, focusing on the pose and what I am trying to accomplish. I prefer these slower, Yin classes since I’ve got knots to work out. I’m getting there. I love this girl - she’s amazing!

[charlieyoung]

Two months ago, I started with the class for beginners, then I kept practicing this one every night. I have to say my sleeping get better!! From flexibility to stress relief, I can feel my body change from inside. Glad to become a newbie yin yoga lover! Thank you Kassandra ❤️

[rosemarywright]

Loved this class. I'm getting better at holding the poses now. Thank you and Namaste🙏🙂
