50 min Yin Yoga for Self-Care - Stretch, Restore & Relax

Need a bit of peace and quiet and TLC? This 50 min full body yin yoga practice should do the trick.

Hi everyone, thank you so much for joining me in this (nearly) hour long yin yoga practice for self-care, rest and relaxation. This is a full body flexibility class suitable for all levels. I recommend having two blocks nearby or a bolster.

If you've been feeling depleted, stressed, burnt out or overwhelmed, this is a lovely practice to help you soothe your nervous system and get back to yourself. I don't talk very much when I teach yin yoga because I want you to take the opportunity to go inward and listen to your body's inherent wisdom. Less is always more in yin yoga.

I'll take you through poses like supported fish, supported bridge/butterfly, half butterfly, straddle, pigeon pose, child's pose and savasana.

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.

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

I'm a fairly new yoga teacher and nobody showed up to this mornings regularly scheduled class so instead of feeling disheartened, I'm taking the hour and the studio to myself for this practice. Thank you Kassandra 🙏🏼

Hi Kassandra, just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying the Yin YOGA classes. I tried other types of yoga but Yin is the style for me. I am 65 years old and I do one of your Yin yoga classes almost every day and I just love the feeling I get from it. Your soothing voice and relaxing music is so nice. Thank you for these classes. I never thought I would find something that I enjoy so much!

I will be 91 in May. I practice with you every day so thanks for the VARIETY !

This class was EXACTLY what I needed today. My body has been through a lot lately and I've been feeling incredibly drained and depleted. This was such a nourishing and comforting little "me time" break. I incorporated my bolster for most of the poses and it felt incredibly nourishing to my nervous system. This is going to be a go-to class moving forward.
Thanks for all your love and light, Kassandra! Blessed be 💖

Kassandra, your videos have changed my life. My fibromyalgia pain is almost completely gone. Thank you for all you do for us. I have your Yin and Year of Yoga books and love those.

[katharinefrench-fuller]

Love your yearly winter self-care/mental health Yin classes. They really do suit the needs of winter....

[debrafarwell]

Hi Kassandra,
Thank you so much for these yoga practices. Every morning I do your yin yoga practices. I have tried others, but none compare to yours. Your beautiful calm voice and relaxing music relax me immediately. Thank you for taking the time to produce these wonderful practices. ❤

Thank you Kasandra for this lovely Yin class. I've been doing your classes daily for a long time and love them all. The last 3 weeks I haven't been able to do any yoga due to being diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my neck and spine. This is the 1st class I have done and I feel great for it.Thank you x

[sujsriram]

Hi kassandra. Truly want to send gratitude for this wonderful practice. Was stressed out physically and mentally. This brought restoration.

[marsha]

I really enjoyed the music in this and seeing the dog passing through.

[Sisa]

Recovering from a stiff neck feeling guarded and vulnerable this was sooo soothing and trustful ❤ Thank you

[jennifermary]

I don’t usually like Yin yoga but with the help of a bolster, 2 blocks and a thin cushion I managed to get comfortable in most of the poses & was surprised how quickly it went. I shall definitely not shy away from Yin again! Thank you Kassandra for this calming relaxing class. 🙏 Namaste

[ThePollaton]

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could plan our day around yoga instead of yoga into our day ❤ always love a long yin class❤

[astridcooper]

I keep coming back to this session. Just love it. Thanks Kassandra.

[ZenWithDebby]

This class was an absolute bliss! My body and mind feel super relaxed and zen, which is a wonderful feeling ☺. Loved staying for a longer amount of time in these poses. The side bends and hip openers felt amazing (the last one especially for my L-hip as it was holding lots of tension). Thank you, Kassandra. Have a magical new week ✨💖

[daniwilson]

I'm feeling pretty down today so this practice was just what I needed. Thanks Kassandra!!!

[stephanieruthlessly]

So many meaningful shifts and changes during this practice! Thank you, Kassandra 🌉

[maridomingo]

Got extra cozy with a blanket for this one and it was wonderful. Thank you for another stress relief yin yoga practice!

[iap]

I loved this so much. I teared up at the end. I miss the Vin to Yin Classes!

[carolpridgeon]

Thank you so much Kassandra. I am in a kundallini awakening and this morning I woke to so much intense energy in my body. I walked my yard barefoot, sat at my pond and drank tea, and then I found this class. I feel better which is a blessing. Thanks again for your generous heart. Namaste'
