In the second class in Satiya's two-part series on snail pose, she takes you through a slow flow that gradually deepens, preparing your body carefully and gently to move into the deep backbend that is called snail pose (karnapidasana) in yin yoga. You may just access some deep tension you haven't felt in a while. If you haven't done so already, we recommend that you start with the first class in the series, Snail Pose: Opening, before moving into this one. The first class is especially helpful if snail pose is new for you.

I have been dealing with a bout of tendinitis after a fall from my bike and therefore looked for a routine that did not push pressure on my elbows (therefore, no down dog, for example). This class has worked very well. It is nice mix of yin and yang and has a very nice pace. There are some nice side stretches and hip openings. My plow and snail are really improving.

Such a creative series of asanas. Thank you again, Satya, for a gentle yet challenging class. The challenge for me in a yin class is staying present throughout.

Satiya is such an interesting teacher - this class was perfect after working nightshift and sleeping in the day - I love the time she takes to ground you in mountain pose so that you feel balanced to be on one foot; and the deep squat which felt different/deeper than ever before. Very slow, deep challenges like goddess and the wide legged bends. I have never felt able to do plow before this, great preparation. Thank you!

Such a great class! I've been practicing consistently with power yoga for years now, and am grateful for a class that can transition me into more yin flows. If you have any desires to make more advanced videos in this style, they would be deeply appreciated!

Thank you for all you do, you're a lovely teacher.
