Yin Yoga for Tight Hips - No Props Needed!

Increase flexibility in your hips and relieve low back pain with this no props yin yoga class.

Hey yogis, this week I'm offering you a yummy yin yoga class for your hips that doesn't require any props! This is a beginner yin yoga class to increase flexibility in your hips and legs while also relieving lower back pain. We'll also stretch a bit into the glutes and quads.

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. 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 counter intuitive. 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

Just done your new class... Thank you. I’m knocking on the door of 70 and one of my hips is quite painful and stiff when I first get up... I found this class very helpful.

Kassandra, you’re an angel, I swear, your voice, tone, words are soothing, calming, your poses simple yet challenging to hold, this feel-so-good slow flow is everything
Thank you for being immensely generous with your sharing 🙏🏻🕊🤍

The best. Thank you Kassandra for the slow, gentle, yet dynamic journey into my hips (and heart) 🙏🏽

[nancygraney]

I never thought I would love yin but I do🌿😃Thank you for your guidance 🌿

[francesoha]

I have had to adapt, otherwise it’s a constant fight with my body.Wonderful class.

[jamiekarlamoore]

I had some emotions hit me this morning and I knew it was time to turn to this yin yoga for the hips to help release! I feel much better emotionally and physically. I love your longer yin classes, it helps me to really connect within & without. Thanks Kassandra!💜⚖

[karenmccarthy]

Thank you so much. Shew there is a lot of emotion held in the hips. Had quite a session.

[anandayatrayoga]

Grateful for this class🫶🏼 really helped me release some stagnant energy into my hips from sitting too much while traveling🙏🏼 thank you for inspiring me

[yourhomequinte]

loved this! Just what I needed. Thank you for all your awesome videos. Yin is my favourite

[yogawithian]

Hi Kassandra, nice to see a session without props, I have always used props in my teaching and just get use to using them. A bit like a comfort blanket, so thanks for the approach without blocks.

[lanawalker]

Lovely class and your voice is very soothing. Very clear instructions for how to get into the poses. Thanx

[Heleana]

Thanks Kassandra! Just what I needed after my long run!

[jenfaulman]

Did this class with hubby...we were silent until 20 minutes in he says, "D'they have a cat playing the piano?" and now I can't do this class without cracking up.

[KellyHart]

I love this video. I’d like more like this with maybe little bit of stretching poses added on for other parts but still focused on hips. I have been using this to fix an injury instead of physical therapy and my hip is getting such better motion thank you 🙏🏾

[jencruz]

You are the best! Thank you for all your yoga classes.

[maryrozga]

This was a great class. I try to do yin for my hips several times a week, so it's great to have new options. I loved the laying spinal twist with the quad stretch- it worked my back and hips in a totally new way.

[sandragoudreau]

I found this very helpful to my hips as I tend to get sore. Really helped to stretch them out. Thanks so much for these practices, so grateful to you!

[swiftpaddle]

A+ for this class. love the entire series!
