In this yin yoga class, Sarah-Jane teaches you a sequence that will deeply release the muscles around the back, hips and legs, including the lower back, outer hips, gluts, hip flexors, hamstrings, groin and upper back. It's a great class if you are looking to relieve lower back pain, hip tightness and leg cramps. The space is very quiet and there is no music in this class, so feel free to add your own.

Not my usual type of yoga practice, I tend to do more power/vinayasa but this was so so good! I will certainly do this again!
Shoelace pose
Peanutman 3 months ago
When I do shoelace pose, I feel the stretch primarily in my outstretched leg and not in the bent leg. Is this okay? How can I modify the pose to a lower flexibility level?
Modifications

Thank you for your question. Yes, most feel the stretch when the leg is out stretched more so at the back of the knee and the IT band. You feel it more in the outer hips in the full pose. A modification is to just cross your ankle over your thigh rather than stacking the knees, you can support your bent knee with a block or pillow. If you’re aiming for the full pose you can elevate your hips by sitting on something which may help release the hip. Thank you for participating.

This is a really great class. My hips feel very released. Next time , I will stay 3 extra minutes on the second side Shoe lace pose, since we spend more time on the first side. Thanks for this amazing video.
