60 Minute Vinyasa to Yin Yoga Series (Part 5)

This is a 60 minute Vinyasa to Yin Yoga practice that combines 30 minutes of vinyasa and 30 minutes of yin postures. Pt 5 of the Vinyasa to Yin Series of classes. In this class, we practice being soft and moveable. The Yang Vinyasa portion of practice is a ladder style format where we build and add to the flow. The postures encourage you to be a little more rounded at the edges, cultivating a fluidity, softness and ease that happens when your body is led by how it feels, rather than any hard lines or resistance.

I would call it a more intermediate, slow, warming flow. It builds in intensity and then we land closer to the floor for an abridged Yin sequence targeting the hips and spine complimenting the Yang Vinyasa sequence.

For practice, I'd recommend a block and / or a cushion.

[annemignotte]

I'm not usually a fan of yin sessions. But this time, my hips and pelvis were slightly stuck and it felt really good.
Thank you also for sharing Inside Yoga. That’s generous of you!

[neldashumway]

This was so awesome! I loved the sequences in the vinyasa portion and the yin was so yummy for my hips. At 73, I need that! Thank you for all your posts. I don't often comment, but I think you are wonderful!

A synergetic swirl of softness. With a satisfying "smile" from my spine as I step softly off the mat. Super series.
Thank you for that special yogic stream. Have a lovely day. Take care, be well. Eric😊✌❤🙏

[bethanymott]

love this vin yin, especially the ladder choreography's flowy sequence w/o chatturangas. Thank you for your creativity and wisdom.

[margaretdalzilio]

LOVE this combination of vin/yin! Some new and fun moves at a deliciously slow pace - thanks for keeping it interesting!

[sweetiepea]

Thank you for this gorgeously fluid flow followed by a delicious yin session! I feel open and super calm after this one. Thank you, Fiona. I love the little 'twists' you put on classic poses that make all your classes through enjoyable and nourishing xx

The flows in the vin section were really nice. The yin section has me really relaxed. Thank you.

Beautiful practice, thanks Fi. And humbling for me with that half moon/restless leg bit!

That was so much fun and felt great! Thanks, Fiona, you’re the greatest.

Can't thank you enough how great I feel Fiona, such a great practice strong and soft and relaxing at the end, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

[wendyjansen]

I loved the flow of this practice, w/o chatturangas. I appreciate you slowing it down I can’t imagine doing the flow faster. Defiantly doing this again, it’s on my fav. 😊🙏🏻 Your vin yin, always leave me feeling amazing!

[silviamcnally]

Namaste 🙏 I love the yin part! The extra time in the stretch makes my tight muscles especially, very happy

[DrgArtHair]

Wonderful session once again, and much needed for a post mountain bike ride. Thanks again🙂❤

[PetraFreund-zr]

I didn't manage to do yoga this morning and this class was just a fantastic way to end my working day. I enjoyed both parts equally and now feel wonderfully relaxed. Thank you for this marvelous class.

[jochalder-royle]

That was fantastic Fiona. I did watch the Inside Flow class after you linked it on Patreon and whilst I liked the look of it, there’s no way I could do something like that without verbal cues! Made me realise just how good your cues are…. I had no problem with your version of this flowing, fluid style and sincerely hope you will post more like this. Thank you so much. XX
