Nice basic yin class. I enjoyed the quotes - a nice touch. I found the transitions and counterposes too quick to enjoy the lovely benefits of these long-held asanas and had to pause the video quite often. A nice relaxing class on this Sunday evening. Thank you!

hi Trish,
Thanks for the feedback. Poses are typically held for 3-5 minutes in a Yin class - beyond that we would consider it a deep yin class and definitely not for beginners. Glad you found a way to make it work for yourself!

Dear Anastasia, thank you for the beautiful Yin class. Your voice was delightful to listen to and I loved the different prop options you referred to.

I'll be adding this to my list of weekly classes.
Namaste xx

Anastasia,
This class has all my favorite yin postures. I loved it! I particularly loved the poem you shared By Swami Kripalu:

My beloved child, break your heart no longer.
Each time you judge yourself, you break your own heart.
You stop feeding on the love, which is the wellspring of your vitality.
The time has come. Your time. To live. To celebrate,
and to see the goodness that you are…
Do not fight the dark. Just turn on the light.
Let go, and breathe into the goodness that you are.

Beautiful!

I love Yin Yoga and I gained so much from the breathing today in this class. Because the poses are held for a longer time, one can really get into the breath work and feel that wondrous place where it's just you and your breath. Beautiful!
