15 min Morning Yin Yoga - Wake Up & STRETCH!

No props needed, let's start our day with some gentle yin yoga poses for a full body stretch!

I love yin, and I really love practicing it in the morning! I'm doing a voice over in this video simply because my microphone wasn't working that day. Join me in this 15 minute yin yoga class which will take you through poses like reclined butterfly, reclined swan, spinal twist, sphinx pose, child's pose and some neck releases.

This is a simple sequence suitable for all experience levels and no props are required.

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

Find your edge means respecting your body's limits and not pushing too far and risking injury. Pull back a little bit and as you hold the pose you will be able to go deeper into it without pushing too far or hurting yourself.

Being still means that once you are in the pose it is important to completely relax your muscles so the benefits can get into the connective tissues and joints. Try not to fidget or move or distract yourself, this is a meditative practice. Breathe deeply in and out through the nose.

Holding the pose means that in Yin Yoga a pose can be held for 1-10 minutes depending on the pose performed and on the comfort level of the student. I usually teach poses held for around 4-5 minutes. Learn to surrender and keep a timer close by if needed.

Your mic was so quiet that I honestly thought those birds were here, outside my open bedroom window! Heavenly. Thank you.

Dear Kassandra, I am very new to Yin Yoga and I have chosen you to follow, you are great. I want to tell you that at the beginning of this yin morning I had a complication that made me laugh so much ....my cat came between my legs and started purring. I had to stay in that position a bit longer, she's the boss, obviously. Have a nice day! ;-)

[iloveit]

I usually don't do yin yoga, especially not in the morning, as I always need more movement first thing in the morning. But this sequence made me feel so happy!! I don't know what it was exactly, maybe it was the sound of the birds in the background or the amount of you talking (which made it easier for me to focus on myself). This felt just great! Thank you 🙌💕

"checking in on how your feeling"...
Before: back pain on this English wet, windy, grey morning.
Now...no pain, sunny, birds singing, peace.
Thank you Kassandra ☺️

[travelkenyawithkidsyogamam]

Could you do more morning yin sessions please? I have done all the morning yin sessions multiple times and they are my absolute fave.

[marinagpestana]

Good morning, Kassandra
I'm Brazilian and I've only been following your classes for a short time, but they won me over. Your short classes are very practical and prepare me for the day. These yin yoga classes are fantastic. Thank you very much and always bring this type of practice.

This was perfect - voice overs are great and the Orchestra of the Birds… namaste 🙏

[pree_yum]

Thank you for this lovely gentle practice, Kassandra.

Yin Yoga has helped me recognise a lot of useless struggles/battles in my life, and I am on my path of letting them go. Thank you for facilitating my Yin Yoga journey. Truly, the doing is in the undoing.

I found this style of voiceover video more easier to follow, there was more clarity in the instructions. I suggest you make more yoga videos with voiceovers.

All my love and gratitude to you.☺

[JuarezWeiss]

This was truly a great session! Loved the feeling of crossing the legs and dropping to one side, I could feel my body waking up and a sense of happiness for the day ahead. Thank you, Kassandra!
