20 min Morning Yin Yoga Stretch - FULL BODY Yin Yoga

Stretch your entire body with this 20 minute morning yin yoga class for all levels.

Rise and shine, it's yoga time! Today I'm taking you through a simple yet effective morning yin yoga sequence to stretch your entire body. This is a soothing practice to get you ready for the day ahead. You'll want to have some props around for this one.

Each pose will be held for about 2 minutes to open up your hips, hamstrings, back and shoulders. Enjoy and please let me know if you would like more short morning yin yoga classes.

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.

What's your word of the day? Let me know below! 👇

[heatherfinn]

Wow when you mentioned that we had finished the last pose I was like ‘what!! 20 min had gone by already!!’ I really enjoyed this class and I’m really falling in love with Yin yoga. 🧘‍♀️

[abbyhuntley]

My word is simply “ok”, it will be enough for me to just feel truly ok today 💙

[lesstalkmoredo]

Yoga and Kassandra. Name a better duo I’ll wait

[Jordan_]

I would love more 30 minute yin morning yoga practices! I’ve fallen in love with yin but 20 minutes is too short in the morning and an hour is too long. Thank you for your amazing practices!!! 💕

[aerialistsinmotion]

My word: Accomplished. Accomplished in school, family, packing, just accomplished. :) Thank you! Namaste.

[kathrynanne]

I want to feel carefree today. At this point last year, I was mentally in a very bad place, and this year I feel so much better due to a lot of mental health work, including therapy and meds, AND doing yoga from your channel nearly every single day since the pandemic started. I want to live today celebrating how far I've come by simply being carefree. :D

[melrox]

This is just what I needed today haven't done yoga in a few days.

[annettebox]

my intention is serenity..I really love having background music

[oriorione]

My word is PATIENT . I really work to this word every day, is really difficult to me but every week I can see improvements. Thank Kassandra, really love you and thanks to your community.

[monmusicaltheatre]

Yes! Keep these 15-20 minute sessions going please! I’m an after-work yogi but still have kid and dinner to make etc. This was just right! Also - thanks for the tips along the way, e.g., thumbs under the shin/ankles to keep hips from rolling. Perfect! Thank you!

[eehsa]

Namaste 🙏🏼
My mornings seem incomplete without yin with Kassandra .. Lots of love and God Bless !

[kathykrauss]

Was looking for a yoga practice that I could do every day and I found Kassandra. Her sessions are great, they're challenging and I love the easy stretching and flow. I'm almost 70 and have been practicing for 10 years, but not so much since the covid shut downs. I'm so glad I found Kassandra's youTube channel. She is just what I needed!

[Breezybrochacho]

"Present" is my one word intention. You're my favorite, thank you for all the peace you have helped me find in both my body and mind.

[dongmeilyu]

Gratitude is the word I choose. I am grateful that you updated this video, I am grateful for my parents I am grateful for my friends.I am grateful for myself.

[eliseerlandson]

My word of the day is 'peace' I am a teacher on winter break and need to take intentional time to be at peace. These Yin Yoga practices are my favorite - thank you!

[KellyVanHoutte]

Grateful was the word that came up into my head. So so so grateful for the life I may lead. Standing or lying still while practicing yoga really shows me what is into my heart. Thank you

[helendennis]

goodbye to the old year & starting the new one again with inspiration. Beautiful session.xx

[milletdalakwatsera]

My intention of today Happy, Radiant and Energized..Namaste🙏

[jaimezuniga]

My word is grace-for myself and others. I found your channel a few months ago. I have very limited experience with yoga prior. I am loving practicing with you several times a week. I am a runner and have loved incorporating yoga in between runs. I feel I need this more as I am now in my 40’s. Thank you for these videos. I have shared them with my brother and children and they like them as well.
