Hey everyone, welcome back to my channel! I've got a yummy yin yoga class for you today which focuses a lot on our hips, hamstrings and lower back. You'll want to have 2 blocks for this class and I'd say this is best suited for intermediate practitioners.
We'll hold each pose for about 3-4 minutes so make sure you're not pushing or straining. We'll go through poses like child's pose, dragon flying low, deer, head to knee variation and reclined butterfly.

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.
Although your muscles will also be stretched, that is not the focus of the practice. It is best to practice yin yoga while your muscles are cold and NOT warmed up, even if that sounds counter intuitive. The reason we do this is so that we can send the "stress" and the "Stretch" to the connective tissues. If the muscles are warm they will steal the focus away from the joints.
There are 3 principles of Yin Yoga.
1. Find your edge
2. Be still
3. Hold the pose

*If you need a hip reset, this is it! It's intense but so so yummy. Grab some blocks and let's get started :)*
thanks Kassandra !!!
Loved it! Super intensive but amazing
It really was yummy. Thanks so much. 🙏
Thank you so much, Kassandra! Never ever have I regretted tuning in to one of your classes, they are simply wonderful
That's really kind to say, thank you!
I second that!
This class is a MUST for all runners especially after running marathon, also for those who just started to run, it very helps to stay "butter" at your hips and legs🏃🏽♀️
Oh wow, been under immense stress with anxiety galore these past few days and this was just perfect! Simple, subtle, focused and extremely relaxing! Feeling much better. Thanks Kassandra 🙏🏽☺️💚💫
You are seriously amazing ❤️🔥 I always recommend your videos to everyone I know because you are so great at explaining how and where we should be feeling the stretch with each pose. It really helps me with alignment.
This video is great for those that want to practice during their cycle. It’s my first day, and it’s usually the worst, but starting my day with these deep hip stretches have left me feeling so light, calm and grounded.
Thank you for being here Kassandra 🙏🏻
I practiced it this morning and it was raining outside, best feeling ever!
I really loved this class! I am falling in love with Yin yoga and would love more of these classes and the slow flow vinyasas, those are my favorite! Thank you!!!
Yin yoga is something I find so so challenging. When you say 2 blocks required for lizard I usually need 6 blocks, 2 pillows and a bolster. My hips are so so tight, I hold so much emotion there. A video on how to set up blocks for super tight hips wud be great. I love your other videos, I tend to avoid the yin ones but I want to try. Thanks for the challenge
I get it! Me too! Stuck with it!
This was my first time doing yin yoga. I just learned what it was recently thanks to your lovely channel. The focus on the hips was very, very helpful for me. I have sciatica and chronic pain/chronic fatigue. I feel like a new woman after doing this yoga practice with you today, Kassandra. Thank you and Namaste.
I always struggled when I would try Yin Yoga because I can be quite impatient and need things to be fast-paced. I have worked on slowing down my mind and this practice was calling to me. I feel the most 'at one' with my body than I ever have before in a way I can't even begin to describe. Thank you!
Thank you for your service to humanity. You have been integral in my healing.
This was just what I needed today, feel so calm and relaxed after this practice. Thank you 🙏 xx
I’ve been doing this practice every day for a couple of weeks, aiming to regain better range of movement after numerous big injuries (knee, hip, ankle none of them recent)…finally have the patience and am feeling definitive changes. Lends new meaning to the term yoga “practice”! Thank you, Kassandra! You’re a wonderful teacher!
yep, works everytime. Thanks for being you Kassandra
I sobbed the entire first half and feel like I released so much stress. Thank you so so much 🙏🏼
Kassandra, I´m also a Yogateacher and I love your classes. It´s giving me everything that I´m looking for in my practice. Thank you so much!
Thank you for another perfect Yin class! I feel super relaxed and zen (aka. Yoga high is realzzzz! 😍) Happy weekend! ♥
All dreamers out there this is temporary situation it will pass don't lose hope your success will come just keep moving forward don't give up 💪 💪 💪 ✊
Thank you, Kassandra. This was perfect for me this morning. I have practiced with you since the beginning of the pandemic and I learn something new from each of your lessons. Today it was the variation of deer pose, incorporating the blocks. LOVED it! Yin has become an important part of my yoga routine, thanks to you and your clear, gentle directives.
I love that I space out in yin yoga. I cannot think of anything and my mind goes completely blank. Thank you so much! After a busy week this practice was what I needed without even knowing it
That final bow was much easier after this yin practice. I greatly appreciate this generous offering, Kassandra.
Definitely intense! I loved the practice. I could have used more support cues during deer and dragon. I’m really tight and had to hold both poses up on my wrists and shoulders.
You are blessing to the world..lucky to know about your videos
Thank you. Going on a road trip and will be driving for a few hours. This is just what I needed.
Thank you for this class, after doing this class for some time I feel more flexible around my hips and it's such an amazing feeling, I hated my legs for years and it feels like I'm embodying my lower body
Awesome! Me too!
So nice to have the time this morning to complete this class. I enjoyed the supported reclined deer pose and the seated forward fold with other leg in external rotation and foot behind the glute. Used my wooden blocks to gently weigh down my thighs in butterfly pose to deepen the stretch.
This is exactly what I needed. Thank you for your perspective on savasana at the end, I stayed and let my mind rest and body settle. I am looking forward to your other videos
Thank you Kassandra!
Thanks Kassandra this session was a real opener. The challenge was well worth the sweetness at the end. Will visit this one again.
Blessings. 👍❤️
Great class. I really enjoyed the modified diagonal pigeon pose. I've never done that pose before and it was really good for my body. Thank you.
Really appreciate the silence when holding the pose. This will be a "go to" session for me. Thank you!
enjoyed this so much! first time stretching this region but everytime i felt discouraged by my stiffness, kassandra’s gentle words really soothed me and inspired me to keep going. this 38 minutes just flew by! thank you so much for this series.
My favorite one. The 3 minute hold is perfect to release my tightness
Omg!! Changing my hand placement just completely changed my handstand game!! Thank you so much!!!🎉
Wonderful practice Kassandra, thank youuuuuu ☀️❤️🌹
Love this yin class, really helpful for my sore hip. Thanks you
Namaste! Thank you so much Kassadra💞
I loooove your yin yoga. I started your yin yoga classes 8 months ago and now I can do child's pose again. I suffer from some intense hip and knee pain and your yin yoga has reduced my pain by 75%
Thank you❤
Thank you so much. Out of all of the yoga videos made yours are always my favorites. Your verbal cues of thanking the body and listening to what it needs are exactly what I need to start my day
One week and it is amazing how flexibility in my hips have improved this is a keeper thank you Kassandra
thank you for this great yin class was just what I needed for day 335!
Love this! As I do all your classes.
Thank you for this practice!
i must have done this one already because i gave it a like. i just came back to it because after a studio class my hamstrings were feeling soooo tight and sore!! this is just what i needed. you always have best remedies for me Kassandra. thank you! ☮
Just did it and absolutely love ❤🙏 deep, intense, relaxing, and peaceful. Thank you for that
Some of the postures were challenging but I feel so good after this lovely class. Thank you.
I just finished this sequence.. wow wow wow I loved that deer / supported fish pose mash up. I feel so good and relaxed.
Can't wait this looks satisfying already
Delicious yin practice today..TY
Thank you Kassandra as always for your energy and this space. Its such a gift!
Yin yoga is by far my favorite, and this practice was just what I needed! I'm always looking for ways to enhance my flexibility and target my hips and hamstrings. I loved the intensity that was followed with an ease of calm.
Been dealing with sciatica on and off for the last 10 years or so and idk what it was, but something in that specific spot got a sense of relief, like something released and I even felt go down the back of my leg. Not saying I'm cured, but that deep stretching did something amazing for me today. Thank you Kassandra for your content 🩷 Namaste 🙏
Thank you very much. Namaste 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you - I really enjoy your classes - doing these short ones 6 times a week now
You come up with the best sequences Kasandra! The best!
Thank you for the great sesh Kassandra ❤
Oh, I’m coming back to this one. It felt wonderful!
I love the music.
7am practice with the rain pounding on the roof of our conservatory. This was amazing. Thank you ❤
Thank you. Can never have enough hip sessions!
Thank You! I didn't realize my hips were so tight. I look forward to your other classes.
This was so gooood....I could see and feel where the resistance was.....and my when I ever I surrendered...the melting sensation and the release was incredible.....I did add a few of my own poses that naturally my body called for....Kassandra I have been practicing with you for over 7 years...I am blown away of what still comes thru. Thank you #gratitude
Thank you so much Kassandra. This was excellent. So tenderly intense. I really appreciate your care in this practice.
Thank you!
Kassandra I was experiencing very tight hips I began you practice two days ago and have had fabulous results, this is now my morning yoga practice thank you
Thank you so much Kassandra. Deeply relaxing and self-centering. Thank you also for giving importance to the coming out of the postures x
I wake up at 4am and always see your videos. I'll give them a chance tomorrow before my day in the field fixing everything. 26 years old and alot of injury, CRPS. This nervous system relay is the most beneficial so far. . besides drugs and painful deep tissue lol. I don't want those at 4am. Lol to early.
020222 I am always hooked by hip anythings but I missed it was Yin, which isn't always my favourite... I feel great, hips all stretched (yeah!!) but my mind went for an epic wander through the 38 minutes (wait! 38 minutes???). The result is I am super super super relaxed, I found some solutions to stuff that was bothering me, and feel that the 38 minutes were very well spent, even if not the way Kassandra may have intended. Thank you. Namaste.
230923 Some of the poses felt a little awkward and ungainly, but I am still feeling stretched & relaxed at the end of the class. Thank you. Namaste.
My hips feel GREAT after this practice ! But I must admit it was tough.... but WORTH it! Thank you for this!
Had a great practice. Thank you
this was a mistake to do before a run. i'm too sleepy to run now. thanks for the workout
Great session, thank you!
Of course ask your doctor before starting any regime, but I've found that hip exercises like these really help with my sciatica pain, especially after a long day of sitting at the office.
I don’t usually do your longer videos,(I’ve been a 10 min gal), but this one really suited my needs for the overwork scene I find myself in.
I did leg dumbbells workout yesterday and waking up this morning, I was really sore and stiff. this practice helped me loosen up my legs and hip. I feel so much better. Thank you Kassandra 😊❤
Loved this practise👌 Namaste♥️
Thank you Cassandra because you are doing my best yoga positions
