im 19 with chronic back/neck/shoulder pain due to minor scoliosis as well as pursuing a creative career which involves lots of hunching over draft papers i was really beginning to believe i would simply live out the majority of my life constantly in pain. i’ve been doing yin daily (this video is one of the favorites i come back to a lot) and have been THANKFULLY proven wrong. my pain has decreased SO much- thank you thank you for providing these free lessons you’re literally changing lives!!!
So happy Kassandra with this new Yin Yoga class, so familiar, but also new with extra techniques to deepen my practice. Thanks for your ongoing spirit and motivation ;)
I came back, two days later, to say how crazy (in a good way) this yin class impacted my back. It feels like some muscles where worked on that held tension for a long time and now I am feeling a subtle effect of opening through my entire body! Hurray 🎉 Thank you Kasandra 😊❤
This was wonderful. I usually have lower back/sciatica pains. But today I woke up with upper back pain. I have scoliosis so I know the reasons. This yin practice was just right this morning. Thank you Kassandra
The timing of this release was absolutely perfect! I’ve been craving a slow practice today with the focus on releasing tension from my upper body after an intense cleaning session 😅. These poses felt really great and I loved the length of this Yin class. Thank you ❤ May you have a beautiful week! ✨
Thank you so much for this video! It was just what this solo mama needed to get her chest to start to open up again. Thank you for sharing your talent and gifts with all of us, so that when we find that brief moment for self care, I know exactly where to go. Your Yin videos are simply wonderful ❤
Probably my favourite video from you ever, and that is really saying something, since I love your videos. This was an absolutely amazing and so much needed shoulder stretch after 2 days journey traveling. I feel immensely better! And the music was absolutely amazing too! Beautiful and zen, I would just listen to it by itself! Thanks so much for this very yummy stretch.
This one is the best. Since menopause a lot of stiffness left side upper back and shoulder , with accompanying nerve pain, all stress related apparently....this practice releases it completely. Feeling so relaxed and loose in the upper back now. Thank you Kassandra 🙏
This class arrived with such good timing! I started a new job today and have been stressed and anxious. Plus, yesterday I did an upper body session at the gym and I forgot to stretch afterwards. So I really, really needed this.❤
Merci beaucoup Kassandra pour cette belle séance. J'ai été très émue à la fin car le mot "pardon" m'est venu ainsi que la belle couleur mauve lorsque j'avais les yeux fermés, lors de la dernière pose. Mes larmes ont coulés doucement. Merci pour tout ton contenu gratuit!
Thank you for this practice, I really enjoyed it. Everytime I am practicing with you I think I should do this more often! During the child's pose when you have your chin on the mat I put down my forehead on a block. This helps to melt down without streching my neck to far. Hope this comment helps for those with less mobility in their neck.
Feel so grateful and emotional with this practice 😢 Been experiencing a lot of upper back pain lately. This practice gave me the release that I needed. Will do again tomorrow. Namaste Kassandra ❤
Perfect! Loved it. Usually I have a hard time finding *the right spot* in stretches for the mid/upper back but with the blocks today it really targeted all the tricky parts. 💚
So happy I stumbled onto your channel! I am 66 years young and have suffered for over 30 years with shoulder pain and this routine has helped me so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
"Transitions are just as important as the pose" is something I experienced this week..travelling from one city to home...using a walk by the river whilst witnessing a local festival on the outskirts of the crowd... that Transition before home enabling me to better nights rest...and soyour words helped to nail 💅 in the point! 🎉
Just a suggestion for neck tension. I suffer from frequent tension headaches as well and I came across a video on “nerve flossing” from a different teacher (not sure if Kassandra has a similar one) but I gotta say it really cleared up one of my headaches. Just something else to try when you’re looking for pain relief. I believe the channel with the video that helped me was called Our Echo yoga or something similar. Kassandra is my favorite all around tho! Consistently great classes. This one was just what I needed today.
Thanks Kassandra indeed a much needed mid back stretch for me. Others might find the stretch in other parts of their shoulders. Gratitude for your guidance. ❤
Thank you Kassandra! I am so happy I found this class in which you do tsome of the well-known poses a bit different. It is very important from time to time to shift the trigger points in the asanas a bit to improve flexibility and relieve the stress in the muscles and joints. I really loved this practice.😊
Thank you for these stretches Kassandra. After some dry brushing, warm shower, this practice was the icing on the cake for the upper back tightness I was experiencing. More blessings to you 🙏🏽.
thankyou Kassandra. I've been practicing almost every day thanks to you and your videos for longer than I've stuck with any other practice and I am so grateful.
The notification of this video popped up while I was in class, and from that moment on I couldn't wait to get finally home and do this practice with you. I had a very long day, and this was the perfect ending, thank you💗
I have a lot of emotions stored in my neck and shoulders. Today's Upper Body practice helped released some of them. Thank you as always for your amazing classes. Can you please post a 45 min to an hour practice specifically focused on neck and shoulders. Lots of love!
I really felt the relief of this stretch right after the practice. Thanks Kassandra! I prefer 45 mins or more sessions as I can actually feel its benefit compared to short sessions.
Thank you so much Kassandra. I've been enjoying the workouts with you over the last year. I've raised a smile towards the end of the workout. 😊 I felt so revived and refreshed after that yoga workout. My thighs felt heavy when in child's pose position but the workout filled and felt me up with lightness 🌞 and manned without the blocks. I've done many of the workouts with you over the last two years and subscribed to your channel and created a playlist on my channel and saved the workouts I've been doing with enjoyment to the playlist and completed with pleasuement and indulgence. I've have been commenting on some of your workouts of the last two years saying thank you and how good your yoga classes are and powerful.💪I'm participating in a yoga class every week for one hour in my local area that I started last year in August a few times over.I've been thinking of one word intentions during the workouts RELAX, CONFIDENT, REFRESH and CALM!! Thank you so much once again Kassandra! Breath easy!! NAMASTE!!!💨🧘☺️
like all Yin I always find the flow challenging but this one also brought me a lot of relief since my shoulders are a weak point for me. My neck and shoulders feel really good now. Thank you Kassandra, namaste from Spain
As I've progressively balanced my chakras, I'm starting to notice more shoulder, back, and stomach tension. I don't know what it was about this practice, but it made me feel energized. I cleaned the fridge (a task that was loooong overdue) and started working towards an online certification. Will have to add this to the regular rotation!
Thank you for the Yin videos. They're helping me get through this rough time of year. I seem to get panic attacks and inner ear dehiscence around this time - three years running now. The yin stuff has been great. Doing them nightly. . .
Thank you! I started doing your yoga and your words made me realize I was causing myself health issues and pain that I have now greatly over came I continue to do your videos your doing great work. Thank you!
I love the method yogi Kassandra does by producing 45 mins to 1 hour yoga video. I don’t think we need so-called “10 mins neck yoga” “15 mins yoga for the back”, which might be better for collecting views but never be able to match the experience of 45-60 mins real-world yoga class kinda experience video.
I like both. The shorter videos allow me to do some yoga before work and add some bliss to my busy days. The longer ones are great for once or twice on top of a daily 15 for me.
So not true. 10 min yoga saved by back. Of course during the week ends i'll do the longer ones. But honestly I get the most benefits from doing 10 kin every single day
the 10 mins videos are lifesaving when there's an urgent need for yoga and not much time. But the bliss of a full length class is a different level altogether!
I completely disagree both are good and it is a life changing to be able to do 10/15/20 minutes every blessing day especially when we have toddlers. 45/60 minutes is great that is true but when we can afford the time. Thank you Kassandra for your videos ❤
Thank you so very much for an amazing practice as always🌻... Feel pain in my back after painting sessions, but since I started practicing yoga with you the pain is diminishing. Namaste❤
*I came out with a new gift set! It includes a yoga journal, an affirmation booklet and a candle. Check it out:* www.yogawithkassandra.com/shop/

So happy Kassandra with this new Yin Yoga class, so familiar, but also new with extra techniques to deepen my practice. Thanks for your ongoing spirit and motivation ;)
While I find Yin challenging, keeping still and trying to relax into the poses, it is becoming my favourite practice.
I came back, two days later, to say how crazy (in a good way) this yin class impacted my back. It feels like some muscles where worked on that held tension for a long time and now I am feeling a subtle effect of opening through my entire body! Hurray 🎉 Thank you Kasandra 😊❤
Thank you! It helps me with the stiffness of the neck and shoulders. Love your classes Kassandra. ❤
This was wonderful. I usually have lower back/sciatica pains. But today I woke up with upper back pain. I have scoliosis so I know the reasons. This yin practice was just right this morning. Thank you Kassandra
You are too kind..I have scoliosis and going through a rough patch in terms of back pain. I thank you immensely for posting this today. Namaste. 🙏
I loved this class! I need these poses for my back and ribs! Much gratitude! 🙏🫶
This was a wonderful class for a Sunday Morning, thank you! ✨ I really appreciate the gentle guidance
Thank you for another wonderful Yin-class
The timing of this release was absolutely perfect! I’ve been craving a slow practice today with the focus on releasing tension from my upper body after an intense cleaning session 😅. These poses felt really great and I loved the length of this Yin class. Thank you ❤ May you have a beautiful week! ✨
Wonderful 🥰 I felt myself coming back home to myself and my upper back felt more open and breathing was much easier 🙏
Kassandra this did wonders for my posture! Afterwards, I found myself effortlessly sitting upright and straight.
Never realized that my upper back needed this release till I completed this practice. My back feels so grateful tonight. Thank you Kassandra.
Used the practice video again today and loved it like the first time! Namaste!
Thank you so much! What a wonderful yin yoga flow 💖
I love this practice! so calming and healing, thank you !!!!
Awesome 🎉🎉🎉 complete relaxation to the thoracic spine. All T1 through T12. Vertebra have got massage. Great!!! Thanks dear. God bless you.
Thank you so much for this video! It was just what this solo mama needed to get her chest to start to open up again. Thank you for sharing your talent and gifts with all of us, so that when we find that brief moment for self care, I know exactly where to go. Your Yin videos are simply wonderful ❤

This was AMAZING. I needed this sequence so badly. 🙏🏼
Loved this yin session. Would also like some neck stretches added.
Beautiful 45 minutes. Such a soft lovely voice and clear unrushed instructions with perfect background music. Thank you 📿
Beautiful practice ❤ really stretched my shoulders and upper back good!
Amazing! You and your practice are amazing. Thank you so much! ❤
Woah.. This is amazing.. I feel so much release.. Some tears came up too..
Merci beaucoup Kassandra pour cette belle séance. J'ai été très émue à la fin car le mot "pardon" m'est venu ainsi que la belle couleur mauve lorsque j'avais les yeux fermés, lors de la dernière pose. Mes larmes ont coulés doucement. Merci pour tout ton contenu gratuit!
After waking up with a stiff neck, this was simply wonderful! Thank you Kassandra❤
Recovering from a shoulder injury. This is perfect! Thank you!
That breathing made a big difference in my ability to do the first twist. Thank you!
Thank you for this practice, I really enjoyed it. Everytime I am practicing with you I think I should do this more often!

perfect start to my day. thank you
Perfect! Loved it. Usually I have a hard time finding *the right spot* in stretches for the mid/upper back but with the blocks today it really targeted all the tricky parts. 💚
yeah, right? for me the thing with the chin was great also (although i took a block to help with that)!
The timing is uncanny! Just finished an intensive resistance routine, only to find your fresh stretch upload. Thank you kindly ❤
So happy I stumbled onto your channel! I am 66 years young and have suffered for over 30 years with shoulder pain and this routine has helped me so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Thanks again for a wonderful class.❤
That was the quickest 45 mins ever….I. Could have done another hour of lovely yin poses. Thanks Kassandra as always ❤
"Transitions are just as important as the pose" is something I experienced this week..travelling from one city to home...using a walk by the river whilst witnessing a local festival on the outskirts of the crowd... that Transition before home enabling me to better nights rest...and soyour words helped to nail 💅 in the point!

Yay! So happy to have another Yin class! Thank you :) Also, Kassandra... not sure what you are doing but your skin is looking AMAZING!
im still very new to yoga but that supported fish pose in the end hit a serious spot in my right shoulder. i needed this so much today.
Just a suggestion for neck tension. I suffer from frequent tension headaches as well and I came across a video on “nerve flossing” from a different teacher (not sure if Kassandra has a similar one) but I gotta say it really cleared up one of my headaches.

Amazing Kassandra. That was one of my favorite. ❤
Beautiful music, ultra relaxing practice. I thought 45 minutes would be too long but it went fast! Thank you.
Really pretty good for my rotator joints hurt recently, thanks you so much Kassandra.
Wow! This is a miracle in just 45 minutes 😍🙏✨
Thanks Kassandra indeed a much needed mid back stretch for me.
Others might find the stretch in other parts of their shoulders. Gratitude for your guidance. ❤
Another wonderful practice, this one is definitely going on the “favorites” list. Thank you! 💜💚
❤❤❤❤ you’re and angel! Thank you, thank you, thank you it feels soooo good!!!!
After 1 hour of inversions followed by another of power yoga, this practice was all my body was longing for! thank you so much Kassandra!
Dear Kassandra, this was a powerful practice. Thanks very much for providing high quality yin yoga classes to youtube. Namaste'
Really nice class to feel good in our upper body where we hold a lot of tension. Namaste.
thank you, Kassandra
Thank you Kassandra! I am so happy I found this class in which you do tsome of the well-known poses a bit different. It is very important from time to time to shift the trigger points in the asanas a bit to improve flexibility and relieve the stress in the muscles and joints. I really loved this practice.😊
Thank you so much for all your classes -you are helping so many people with your good instructions and your peaceful, gentle voice.❤
So GOOD!!! Thank you for taking time to explain things that make such a difference!
Great stretch! Thank you!
Thanks! I really love your yin yoga videos, I feel that it's easy to follow and very beneficial!
I enjoyed so much your yin classes. I feel so relaxed now. Thanks for sharing this video with us. So grateful 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Kassandra for this routine, it´s amazing how my neck feels better when releasing the upper back!
❤Love your programs. I'm really hoping for a 45-60 minute power Vinyasa sometime soon.
I lobe your videos and the way you incentive people to respect their boundaries and really enjoy the practice ❤❤❤
Thank you for these stretches Kassandra. After some dry brushing, warm shower, this practice was the icing on the cake for the upper back tightness I was experiencing. More blessings to you 🙏🏽.
thankyou Kassandra. I've been practicing almost every day thanks to you and your videos for longer than I've stuck with any other practice and I am so grateful.
I hold tension in my upper back and neck. I especially like sphinx on the blocks. That was new to me. Thank you! X
much needed, I did puppy pose with my elbows on the blocks and my hands in prayer behind my head :)
Very relaxing practice, good for a rest Saturday. My back is feeling much better afterwards.
my spine feels beautifully long after this practice. thank you
Thank you so much Kassandra! I've been suffering from back and shoulder pain for quite some time now, and classes like this just help so much ❤
Thank you for helping me to reset❤
Namaste Kassandra and to all Yin Yoga stretch was wonderful can have a lower body and hip opener deep stretch. 🕉🕉😘
Thank you very much Kassandra for this. I have had a sore and stiff upper back for the last 2 days. I truly appreciate this class.
The notification of this video popped up while I was in class, and from that moment on I couldn't wait to get finally home and do this practice with you. I had a very long day, and this was the perfect ending, thank you💗
My back pain just reduced, thank you so much
Heaven 💞 Thank you, Kassandra! 🙏
Thank you so much. I just came home from work and this was just what I needed❤
I loved this yin practice- how slow and relaxing it was. Thank you.
Oh perfect Monday workout. So doing it this eve!
I have a lot of emotions stored in my neck and shoulders. Today's Upper Body practice helped released some of them. Thank you as always for your amazing classes. Can you please post a 45 min to an hour practice specifically focused on neck and shoulders. Lots of love!
Holy heck! That was amazing. I need to revisit this practice soon. I honor my body by listening to it. What am I carrying that I don't need to?
Thank you Kassandra for another really enjoyable class. I thoroughly enjoyed the shoulder release especially in fish pose.
That was super intense in my shoulders. I had to ease off a few times. Thank you, Kassandra, as always. Wonderful!
I really felt the relief of this stretch right after the practice. Thanks Kassandra! I prefer 45 mins or more sessions as I can actually feel its benefit compared to short sessions.

Thank you dear!
My upper body has really been bothering me...I took a vacation day from work so this is how I am going to start my day off tomorrow thank you.
You are amazing. This is perfect ❤
Perfect for a Friday night. Definitely one I'll be doing again.🙏
I have done this one several times ❤

This felt sooooooo good on my sore lat muscle. Thank you so much for this replenishing yet peaceful practice ❤🙏🏼
