Hi everyone, thank you for joining me in this upper body yin yoga class. This is a 40 minute yin yoga sequence to help you stretch and release tension from your neck, shoulders, mid back, upper back and chest. I recommend having two blocks for this class. You can expect to do poses like broken wing, sphinx, supported butterfly and bowtie. This class is suitable for all experience levels.
What is Yin Yoga? Yin yoga is often called the Yoga of the joints because unlike other styles of yoga, the emphasis is not on the muscles but on the deep connective tissue. Connective tissue is made up of fascia, ligaments and tendons which surround and form your joints. Yin yoga improves the range of motion in your joints and also strengthens them. The results and benefits are more flexibility and greater range of motion and also more stability within your joints.
There are 3 principles of Yin Yoga.
1. Find your edge
2. Be still
3. Hold the pose
Find your edge means respecting your body's limits and not pushing too far and risking injury. Pull back a little bit and as you hold the pose you will be able to go deeper into it without pushing too far or hurting yourself.
Being still means that once you are in the pose it is important to completely relax your muscles so the benefits can get into the connective tissues and joints. Try not to fidget or move or distract yourself, this is a meditative practice. Breathe deeply in and out through the nose.
Holding the pose means that in Yin Yoga a pose can be held for 1-10 minutes depending on the pose performed and on the comfort level of the student.

I like that this class was relatively silent. So many teachers talk during yin class -- it's hard to relax. This was nice because I could just concentrate on the pose.
Totally agree!!!
So grateful for this class! I’ve been trying to unfreeze my shoulder/arm for 4 months. I found this class a few weeks ago, have done the class about 10 times and always experience relief. I’m amazed how much it helps. Thank you ♥️
Loved it so much , I was finally able to take a deep breath because the tightness in my shoulder blades and chest was gone, thank you so much 😊
This sequence is really helping me. I have done it several times in the last few weeks, and my upper back is feeling loose and pain free! Great, since I can't go to the chiropractor right now (and this is better anyway). Bow tie and puppy pose are quickly becoming favorites. Thank you!
This was the best upper back yoga I've ever done. I've been having a lot of back/shoulder/chest pain (sitting at a desk all day will do that to you), but this practice was amazing. I"m going to share with people I know who do yoga, and I am going to add it to my regular routine. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I do challenging vinyasa yoga with you from Monday to Friday. On Saturday I love a calm, relaxing practice. This is perfect. Thank you so much!
This class hit the spot to soothe my right shoulder after too much time at the keyboard. Thank you!
I've done this pretty consistently once a week since the pandemic. Always does the job!
This is my favourite of your Yin yoga practices! Thanks so much Kassandra - these grounding, meditative practice are proving absolutely priceless in my recovery from depression and addiction. More of the same please!!
A fantastic yin yoga sequence. It relieved upper back pain in one session. Thank you 💗🙏
I sure needed this for my upper back. My right side is feeling so tight lately. I broke my ankle last November, is probably why. I think I’ll do even more just to keep feeling the effects. Love your videos, Kassandra! Thanks as always ❤
This practice was a tremendous help for my upper back and shoulders. I spent hours in my car yesterday and this really loosened me up and broke through the stiffness.
Upper body was tense all day and this made me heal thank you
Thank you so much! This was so helpful for moving and releasing a huge build up of emotional energy in my upper back and shoulders. I cried through the majority of this and it was extremely beneficial. Seriously, THANK YOU.
Thank you for posting all of these! So helpful!
Kassadra, there's something about your energy in this particular video, on the day you recorded it. Whatever you did with your day and how you were feeling, you were really in your element and power! It comes through in the video and is beautiful and inspiring to connect to. Namaste
So enjoyed these stretches. I feel amazing after it. Thank you.
So fantastic. I have been so stressed and this worked wonders! Yin Yoga is better than massage!
My first Yin sequence! It was tricky during but it felt really good afterwards 😁thanks for sharing!
What an incredible practice!!!! I had really tight shoulders and now I feel much much better and relaxed... Thank you so much
Kassandra your yin yoga classes like this one have helped immensely with my cancer pain! Thank you!
I
Love love love your yin yoga videos. As a beginner of this practice and a rugby athlete that typically lifts weights 5x a week and does a contact sport - I am 4 yin yoga practices in and my body is so happy right now. Thank you thank you.
Thank you, Kassandra!
I was recommended this by a friend and so thankful to have discovered you and yin yoga. This particular session has been so helpful. With age, the introduction of smart phones, and sitting for work, I have found stiffness in my neck and back more often. Thank you for helping me feel instantly better.
This is one of my favorite practices - I watch it 2-3 times a week!
Thank you Kassandra 🙏
My back feels amazing after this flow. Thank you Kassandra!
Anyone else sore from shoveling snow? 😜 This Upper Body Yin Yoga class should provide you with some relief! Main focus is on back and shoulders. *Click below for some goodies* 👇

Awesome yin flow Kassanra. It was what I needed today for my tight shoulders. Very beneficial for opening the upper body! Thank you for posting 🙇🏽♀️
thank you so much!! love yin yoga and especially with you. you don't talk the whole way through the practice, it helps to stop thinking :)
This is one of my favourite classes!
I dont comment often but every day I thank God for your amazing classes !!! Thank you Kassandra!
Thank you so much for this video! I often suffer from neck shoulder upperback (trapezius) pain. The side cactus pose was really intense for me.
Right now, I don't feel pain anymore. Thank you so much for this vid!
Thank you, Kassandra! This class is my go-to for “painter’s neck”. If it’s too much pressure on your knees, add a block under your toes, can’t believe how much deeper I could go into my shoulders taking the pressure off my knees.
always love your stretches! Thank you!
She is an amazing teacher.
38:53 thank you so much for this flow, Kassandra. I’ve recently returned to your videos and yin. This was perfect for what I need today 🙏🏼🥰
I have been coming back daily Kassandra! Thank you so so much!
Hi Kassandra. I just did this sequence for the second time . Struggled with the bow tie but enjoyed the session. Thank you so much 🎉🎉🎉
I feel like I have a brand new body! ✨ thank you so much!
I love this sequence💗 just finished it after my pole dance training, and my shoulders and upper back are so grateful🤗
Thank you so much Kassandra! This practice really loosened my upper back. Namaste
just what I needed today. thanks a lot. would love a longer session for upper back #goodmorning
This class was scrumptious. I will be taking it repeatedly! Thank you!!
Just what my Sunday needed. Thankyou and Namaste!
Thanks Kassandra another awesome stretch for the upper part of the body. Having a bit of a pain on my right shoulder. Feeling much better after the stretch. Much blessings & 💝
I love this practice. The tightness in my upper back was reduced and the overall flexibility of my spine has greatly improved. Thank you, Kassandra!
feels like a mini-trip to the spa - thanks 🌸🌸🌸
HI. I was painting my deck all day yesterday and woke with shoulder pain. Right now after this class I feel amazing. Thank you again and again for all your different classes.
My wife has been try to get me to try yoga for years! Wished I have listened. Loving the Yin Yoga. Thanks for the great classes. Thank to Yin Yoga I can ride my bike again.
Thank you Kassandra for all your videos, which help me a lot in attacking my back pain. Which has been really bad for years, but now it has become better!
Thank you so much for this, Kassandra. You are one of the very few online instructors that does Yin Yoga justice
Just what I needed with teaching from home. Too much time on the computer has been hard on the back. Thank you!
My shoulders loved that. Thank you!
Thank you Kassandra. I am loving your Yin Yoga playlist.🧘♀️🥰
Bow tie changed my life! I always have tightness and knots between my shoulders and this was amazing to loosen them up. I will continue to do this on a regular basis. I love ALL your videos, Kassandra! Namaste!
Thank you so much for this short but very beautiful shoulder and back yin yoga sequence. I appreciate your big heart. Namaste'
I hold a lot of tension and pain in my neck and shoulders.
This particular practice helps me release a good portion of it and guides my progress towards opening my rounded shoulders and better posture. 🙏🏽
This upper body yoga really helps relieve the pain and knots in my upper back.
Not a yin girl but loved this - such release 🙏🙏🙏
One of my top ten!
This is one of my favorite in yoga classes !! No more pain in the back afterwards. Thank you so much Kassandra🙏🏽
dayuuummmmm this opened me wide open
This was such a good class for me! I have nerve pinches in my neck and shoulders, this gave me a good pain reliefe. Thanks!
Best. RUclips channel. Ever!
Thank you! this is perfect for my shoulder upper body problem. You're awesome.
Hi Kassandra.
I've been following your yoga instruction for about 6 months now. I drive for a living and really appreciate this video and all your content you provide. It helps keep me on top of all aspects of my health! 👍
Really enjoyed this. I do like the music in the background. Definitely helped my shoulder today !!! Namaste from Canada 🇨🇦
I have been experiencing such tightness and tension in my shoulders and upper back. It's amazing what a difference this class made for me.
Thank you kassandra for your rich courses
I am so grateful for these yoga exercises. I've had rotator cuff issues with my left shoulder during the pandemic. The yoga is helping me to stretch those muscles in a slow, safe way. Thank you!!
I had sternum pain a month ago, this class really opens the chest the way the chiropractor told me to. Thanks 🙏
That was fantastic Kassandra. Just what I needed. Thank you so much. Namaste.
Been going a lot to massages to fix back and shoulder pain. Just finished this routine and already felt some relief. Will practice this and another similar one on your channel hopefully every day if I can find the time. Thanks Kassandra. You are the best
Thank you for this video, helped me slow down and feel a lot calmer!
Must say this has all the best stretches for the upper back. Felt wonderful, thanks Kassandra for another healing video...
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I was having so much difficulty getting through my day with a tight upper back! this has been magical
Hi Kassndra
I’m from India, your instructors are so clear and gentle, perfect for guiding me through this evening yin yoga practice . Feeling grateful and blessed 🙏 stay safe and stay blessed 🤗
Thank you Kassandra - love your yin yoga classes, these have helped me to meditate properly as well, so there's two benefits in one video :)
Wonderful class - thank you so much!
My back and shoulders cracked so much doing this today! Such a relief. This is one of my all time favourite classes.
Thank you for your time. Namaste
Thank you so much Kassandra! I really appreciate you and your videos.
This class is one of the greatest!
Thank you for this this morning! It was exactly why I needed after waking up feeling like I was punched in the back between my shoulder blades. I still feel like I may need an adjustment but this certainly helped release some on the initial pain. Thank you! And I love all your Yin yoga videos. ❤️
thanks Dominique :)
I've had chronic pain around C7 for 4 years, and this yin practice is going to be my new morning routine to start releasing some of that pain (I hope!) after doing it just once I feel sooooooo good!
Hope it is helping and your finding relief❤
@@queenofscrolls7585 aw thank you!!!
Thank you so much! Your yoga practices have helped me so much. I love your teaching style, so gentle and grounding. ❤🙏❤ This practice is so far my favourite because of the huge, huge releaf I feel in my upper back area. Namaste! 😍
This really helped my upper back knots thanks so much !!!
I love this class, its my go to upper body yin class
I only recently discovered your channel. After trying other channels I come back to yours because it makes me feel so much better. I just wish I had taken time to practice yoga when I was younger, 58 seems a little late. Thank you so much for the help you give me in pain relief.
Thank you Kassandra! Thank you!
Hi Kassandra, this was wonderful! I was wondering if you could make a special yin practice for upper body and chest openers for people who suffer from neck injury and cant lean on their forehead or chin. Here's a nice challenge for you pro. Love your channel!!!!
OMG that was amazing ... ! During Savasana I felt so light in the upper back. I do Crossfit twice a week and I love it but my back and my shoulders are working very hard so I need to relax them, plus I am very stressed so it’s just the perfect practice for me. Yin is so great !! Thanks a lot for this amazing video !!
The best relief for my upper back and beck
Thanks Kassandra! My shoulders feel so much better. I experienced having my left breast removed 23 years ago, and that surgery is just now showing up in my shoulder in an obviously unhappy way. This practice was so beneficial and just the right amount of time. Namaste'
Just what I need(ed)! So many thanks to Kassandra.
Congratulations on your dedication to teaching and promoting Yin Yoga. I am a beginner and I like many of your videos. Personally fish poses with a block I find not very comfortable and I use a Bolster. The princess fish pose :)
This class is a godsend 💙🙏
Thank you! My neck feels so much better in just one session. It won't be the last one!
I finished your lower back yoga flow yesterday and I thought I will definitely have to look up a upper back flow by you tomorrow! I wake up this morning and it's like you read my mind! 😍🙌
Love when that happens! Hope you enjoy :)
This is one of my favorite ones, woooowww... Untill now unfortunately I'm having lots of back and shoulder pain on a daily basis, but a practice like this is such a release... Thank you!! In general, so happy I came across your channel. I've learned a lot already and you really feel like my personal yoga teacher at home, helps me so much along my journey. Feeling grateful, thanks! With love, from Eve. Xxx
