This yin yoga class helps you release the deeper tension around the shoulders, arms and upper back.

Really great lesson, I really enjoyed it. The music was lovely but I do find that it inhibits true reflection and a deeper experience of introspection, as one part of you is listening to instructions and another part can't but help listen to the music. Hence, I find it a distraction. I will return to this though as the content of the lesson is really helpful. Thank you.

As someone with extremely tight shoulders, some of these poses were so deep they were hard to relax into for a full Yin experience, but this class got perfectly into some very tight pockets and I am feeling wonderful afterwards. Thank you Sarah!

Here's a tip for an easy DIY bolster - tightly roll up an old yoga mat! Worked great for me.
