45 Minute Evening Yoga Series - Yin for Hips and Shoulders (Part 3 - 8 Apr '22) Day 6 Challenge
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- This is a 45 minute evening YIN yoga class. Part 3 of a new series of classes designed to help you wind down and step into your evening and sleep feeling nourished.
Targeting the hips and shoulders, this yin class focuses on restoring range of motion and offers your body a deep, replenishing stretch. Each of the postures are held for 1.5-3 min.
Explore reclined cow face arms, a reclined twist with shoulder rotations and side body lengtheners (bananasana) to open your upper body. Half saddle, sleeping swan and dragonfly for the hips. (I also offer some knee friendly alternatives)
For practice, you may wish to have 2 x blankets and a bolster or something similar.

Thank you for this very relaxing Yin practice. I'm returning to it for the second time now as last time I fell asleep before the end of the practice 😅 🙏
Nice to circle back :-) and I so understand about falling asleep during practice at home. So easy to do. Glad you felt so relaxed❤️🙏
Beautiful practice to start my 2023 💕🙏 I hope you have a very special year. Thank you Fiona - Namaste
Thank you Suzana! I’ve been offline for a few days enjoying family gatherings and sun :-) hope you’re cruising into this new year feeling peaceful and well x ❤️🙏
Thank you for this lovely practice Fiona!! 💕🙏
Oh I’m so happy you indulged yourself. Yin so restful:-) thank you 🙏❤️
Really nice! Not a fan of evening yoga, but usually do a long, mostly gentle practice first thing in the morning. Prefaced this with short yoga routine of full body stretches. The combination provided what I needed to start the day. Always appreciate your soothing voice.
Thank you! Yes, I too find evening yoga a motivation challenge. But it’s nice to contrast sometimes as the body is more pliable at the end of the day. Your combination sounds very well rounded. Great you enjoyed it 🙏
Thank you so much for this beautiful practice, love and gratitude 🥰🙏
My pleasure! Did you practice two in a row? ❤️🙏
Yes! I am done with all the four in this evening series! Love your classes 🙏☺️
Great to revisit this lesson - thank you so much for it! Quite complex, I must say, had to do several fast back- & forwards of the video to get the direction well, intricate work. ❤️🙏🏻
It’s always nice to treat your routine with a yin session 😊 thank you for your lovely feedback ❤️🙏
I'm in love with that practice 😍 congrats 👋👋👋
Love that you loved it :-) thank you 🙏❤️
Such a nice feeling after this class:) Thank you Fiona! I hope you are doing well!
Oh lovely! Nice to indulge in some yin huh? We’re doing ok here. Sadly had to say goodbye to our beloved Great Dane, Stella. Ralphie all on his own now. Though he’s coping well. I think animals know when others are sick. Stella was 12. A very good age for a Dane. Missing her. 🙏
@@TwoBirdsYoga oh I'm so sorry for your loss. I am sending you and your dearest all warmest love and compassion, and deepest sympathy. A big, big hug from here
A soothing lubrication to smoothen out the the creaks and groans from this aging body.
Thank you so much for your graceful yogic spirit. Have a fabulous day. Eric😊💚✌
Thank you so much Eric :-) it’s so good to balance our practices. Yin can be so very helpful for mobility and peace of mind :-) great you enjoyed 🙏 have a great weekend ahead :-)

Beautiful! thank you Fiona. This is a nice Yin class for after a few days of surfing also.
Awesome!! A fellow surfer… where were you surfing? We had great swell last week here on the Mornington peninsula… had one of my best surfs for the year. Sparkly water, head high and zero wind! Bliss! ❤️🙏

I'm so glad I found this today! It was just what I needed. I do a class of yours almost every day. It's been so helpful. Many thanks.
Aww Janet, thanks so much! I’m glad to hear this class was just what you needed. Hope you’re feeling peaceful 🙏❤️
Wow, this put me in a relaxed otherworldly state! I closed my eyes and was seeing beautiful artwork, same way I do when I meditate sometimes!
I’m so happy I’ve been waiting for the next evening flow and this delivered!
I love your channel, your guidance is so helpful and your voice and style is so soothing and at the same time (in more strenuous practices) the right amount of encouragement!
Sophie, thank you much for your lovely feedback xx what a beautiful experience. Yin, so nourishing. A gift for our bodies and minds 🙏❤️
A Yin class!! What an unexpected pleasure! Thanks so much Fiona, I really do like Yin for its quiet and meditative approach, all the best from Spain, Louise
I know right? Yin… I don’t have many on the channel as I find it so challenging. It seemed appropriate for an evening series. So so happy you enjoyed it. Hope you’re loving your trip so far? Thanks louise x 🙏❤️
I'm so glad I found your channel, I look forward to the days I practice with you. Thank you.
I’m so glad you did too x so glad you’re enjoying the variety of classes 🙏😊
Lovely practice. I find it very nice that you speak little or not at all when the poses are held. This helps me very much to come to rest. Have a lovely weekend!
Thank you Petra. Only just worked out how to turn background white noise down! Haha. I’m so analogue with my editing! Great you found it restful and you had a chance to practice it in the evening xx you, too enjoy your weekend 🙏❤️
Amazing - thank you very much indeed! This lesson was a first for me, never did yin before. Quite demanding, the concentration needed to find a good organisation of limbs, trunk, & open breath...Would you say all Asana are suitable for yin, on principle, then? HalfSaddle I found the most puzzling to hold well, lessen the effort needed to work against the bent knee rising. I'm curious to learn more about yin-Yoga, that was very close to Feldenkrais actually. ❤️🙏🏻
So great to hear you gave it a go. I’m not an expert in yin yoga practices. It’s very demanding for my body I find. I would consider Paul grilley to be one of the leaders in this style of yoga. There are approx 18-26 yoga postures in yin. And as Paul says, the more yin your practice, the less postures required. Typically held for 3-5 min, their focus and intention different to a yang style practice as they concentrate on ligaments, joint capsules, cartilage, bones and fascial networks of the body. Not all postures are suitable for yin. The guiding principles of yin require you to be passive in the postures with a view to accessing the deeper connective tissues. When muscles are engaged, it circumvents this or there is less stress available for the parallel tissues. Therefore, not all postures are suitable for yin.. Its believed that a balance of yin and Yang practices benefit the muscles as you alternate between cyclical stress and dynamic movements. Yin is not my favourite:-) I prefer restorative practices. 🙏😊
@@TwoBirdsYoga Thank you, that is very differentiated. Yes, I'll research on Paul Grilley, this yin-practice I find intriguing! (though the far-East yin/yang connected to a Indian practice of movement is not immediately comprehensible, I have to confess. But I'll see what I can find out here, very interesting!🙏🏻
💕🙏
Suzana x thank you! Have a beautiful weekend ❤️🙏
Merci Fiona un bien fou (•‿•)🙏 Sylvie
ThankYOU Sylvie xx 🙏
