A Yin Practice
Beginner I
Satiya guides you through a series of poses that increase flexibility in your hips, legs and spine. She takes her time as she leads you into the deeper, longer-held poses that are typical of yin yoga.

Absolutely love this class. Thank you Satiya.
Lovely class, thank you Satiya
Another wonderful Satiya class. I'm just returning to yoga and this is what my stiff, aging body needs. Thank you.
It was a marvelous poem to my body and mind. I will sleep well.
Thank you, Satiya.
I LOVE this practice. Satiya holds a beautiful space - just the right amount of cueing for me. It feels infused with kindness.
Not really a Beginner I. And has more movement/repetition than I expected for a Yin. Well-presented, just not for me ever. :-) I also had concern about the comment that advised it was okay to be past your edge. That could lead to injury, I think.
I really like Satiya's practices. They are very peaceful but yet challenging.
That was so wonderful! Such a beautiful practice, your guidance was perfect, and your presence is so nourishing. I feel amazing. Thank you so much.
Thank you Satyia. this was wonderful session. I enjoyed every posture. you took me with your calm voice and the trust I find in the giving instructions to a deep place in my body and mind. lots of thanks. I usually like all your clasess.
This is such a wonderful class. Satya's voice is so soothing and the instruction is clear. This is just what I needed to go forth into the world.
Still working in the time of virus. Thank you forthis calming and centering retreat before facing the new adventure.
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Satiya, you are an amazing teacher!
You are just the best, I appreciate you and your videos so much. I am new to yoga and find your style very calming, forgiving, and accepting. Thank you!
Satiya, thank you so much for this wonderful class. I enjoyed it very much after too much traveling and long days at work.
Thank you so much, Satiya. After doing this class I felt my muscles and mind very relaxed and sweet.
However, I must say that I am rather flexible and I love stretching and, even so, I found some of the postures a bit challenging, specially at the beginning of the class, so I wouldn't qualify this class for "beginners", but "advanced beginners".
Namaste!
This class is such a gem. I have issues with my vestibular system, and a lot of vinyasa classes make me dizzy. This class brings much needed openness and mindfulness to my day. The hip openers are perfect and leave my spine feeling tall, strong, and straight. Thank you, Satiya
I thank you so much dear Satiya, I am feeling very good because of your wonderful practice. I love the way you lead classes!!! All the best to you!
This class is so gentle and absolutely perfect for my arthritic joints. Thank you Satiya for helping me restore flexibility. Namaste
This class was calm and relaxing. Loved the hip openers! ♡
Thank you, nice class
Soft and sweet connecting the breath with opening. This created space in my spine very safely and was well directed. Thank you Satiya.
Thank you Satiya for a beautiful, relaxing yoga class. It is lovely to feel stretched and rejuvenated. I agree with many that Satiya has a warm, gentle presence and this is a soothing class.
Thank you Satiya, I feel rejuvenated after this class :) I have a lot of trouble with forward folds, sitting and standing, as well as any leg extensions. I think it is the tightness in my hamstrings, but it could also be that my upper thighs are too weak to handle the postures. Do you have any recommendations for classes and poses that might help me to improve these issues?
Glad to hear that you enjoyed the class. We have plenty of classes that focus on the hamstrings, as well as strength in the hip flexors. Your best best is David's Establishing Core Strength I and II. You can also check out Happy Hamstrings with Fiji McAlpine, A Deep Release for the Hips, Hamstrings and Lower Back with David and Yin Yoga for the Hamstrings with Sarah-Jane. You can find all of them by entering their names in the search box in the top right of the Yoga Classes or Home page.
Thank you Satiya, your voice and gentle instruction are wonderful.
This class is fantastic. Satiya has a beautiful energy and transmits a lot of peace. Thanks <3
This was a very pleasant class, thank you Satiya
Great class. I found that the kind of "split" leg position was difficult, but it gave me motivation to be better and hopefully have as good as a split as the instructor of this course. I see myself doing this class again! Thank you
Satiya has an amazing pressence. I never thought good energy could be transfered through online practices... Turns out I was wrong! Thank you guys and specially Satiya for sharing this special energy x
Loved this class. ❤ so calming.
Truly enjoyed doing this Yin class.... Satiya your amazing, your guidance is inspiring and this was just what my body needs. Loved it so much. Many many thanks :))
Like Sarah Jane's classes, this is another yin class to treasure. Satiya's soothing pace and voice set the tone for a relatively gentle, albeit sometimes challenging set of poses. The additional time spent in poses really enables the hips and spine to open, so much so that when I lay down into shavasana, my back made a lovely cracking sound that made me realise the class had done some good! Thank you Satiya.
Love this class and instructor. Great stretches for the lower part of my body.
I loved this class so great for my body effective gentle , beautiful way to start my day !
Thank you so much
Peace

Day 26 of the challenge and I continue to have tightness in my lower back. This practice feels like Heaven. I should do this lovely practice after my commute to release the car tension. Thank you
Very relaxed, my hips feel amazing after this class. Her energy is so calm and nurturing. I also find her voice very soothing. This is a great addition to any practice.
I started my day with this practice and I felt so relaxed. I kind of wished it were longer, because it was such a beautiful feeling ;-)
Very nice! Relaxed Sunday evening enjoyment
Such a gentle and soothing practice to ease into my morning. This was my first class with Satiya. Her voice was like a warm embrace. Would love to see more and longer videos from her :)
Thank you Satiya! I feel so healed by this practice. I can tell if I visit this regularly I will see some truly positive changes in my body.
I LOVE your classes Satiya! I hope you make more videos!
Thank you for an excellent addition to my practice. I was challenged by the flexibility evidenced by Satiya, but she always gave a modification, so I am motivated to improve! Challenging, yet calming. I feel wonderful. Thank you.
Amazing yin practice. My first DYWM video and I am convinced! Thank you, Satyia!
This instructor has a wonderful presence. I smiled at times in the practice feeling so warm and peaceful. The practice was a perfect pace for a beginner to Yin yoga, though I wish it were longer. Thank you!
Where are you Sativa? Can download more classes? I really love you classes.... If ti is possible It will be nice to have a longer class! Gratefully,
Olivia
First of all, thank you!
Nobody mention this in the comments, but... Is the class cut? At time 28:27 the video ends, but the teacher was in the middle of the yoga class still.
Mine ended normally, like she was done. Maybe your internet was lagging a bit? o:
Yes, the video does finish like all the others, with Satiya saying 'namaste'. If you play it through again it will likely be fine.
Thank You! My body feel very relaxed! Your voice is soothing!
Very relaxing and a good stretch. Love your voice! This video is my new favorite.
Thank you so much!
Wow - this was amazing - lovely stretching for my Scoliosis ( have just seen an Orthopeadic Surgeon and he said to do as much YOGA as I can - with my 90 degree curve) - and am becoming totally hooked. And my posture is changing as well as having less pain. Thankyou so much.xx
