25 min Morning Yin Yoga - Morning Stretch

25 min morning yin yoga, morning stretch practice.

Good morning yoga fam! Today's practice is on the shorter side, its a 25 min practice. I also give a toe squat variation, as I know some of you have been requesting some alternatives. This practice is pretty simple, we move through 3 poses and hold them for approx. 3 min. #yinyoga

Doing yin yoga first thing in the morning is SO beneficial because it allows for a tighter pull on those ligaments, increasing your agility, flexibility and mobility over time.

YOU WILL NEED: NO PROPS

Be sure to let me know how it went for you in the comments!

What is Yin Yoga? Yin yoga is MAGIC. Well, that is how I would describe it. Yin yoga is a practice that that allows you to go beyond the superficial layers of the body and access the deeper layers. This means in a Yin Yoga practice you are going beyond the muscles and right into the deep connective tissues of the body. Our connective tissues are made up of fascia, ligaments and tendons which surround and form our joints. Therefore, when you practice Yin Yoga you are able to increase your range of motion, your flexibility and strengthen your joints. A win win! If you ask me. Yin yoga is more than stretching, we are “stressing” the connective tissues and we do this with longer holds and intuitive breathing.

When practicing always remember

1. Meet the pose at YOUR edge (gradually)
2. Find stillness and focus on your breath
3. Resolve to be still

<3 this!! working on reshaping my morning routine lately. My favorite thing about your videos is how descriptive you are about the poses- VERY rarely do i have to crane to look at the screen to figure out the pose. great work :)

I've become rather fond of toe squat :)

What are some modifications for the chin on floor position? I can barely get into that pose and can't really get my chin to touch.
