Yin Yoga #2

About This Class

This evening Yin Yoga class guides students through a series of long-held, floor-based poses designed to target the connective tissues, fascia, hips, spine, and chest. Travis opens with a grounding body-scan on the back before moving through reclining tree pose, chest and shoulder openers in prone position, sphinx and seal pose for spinal backbending, child's pose with a "let go" affirmation, cat-cow, low lunge and half-split sequences, cow face pose (Gomukhasana) for deep IT band and hip work, seated spinal twists, Paschimottanasana (seated forward fold), double knee spinal twist, and a long Savasana. Holds of approximately three minutes each allow the subtle tissues to release over time. Throughout, Travis weaves in mindfulness cues, breathing anchors, and philosophical reflections on surrender, dharma, and the quieting of the mind — making this class as much a meditation as a physical practice. Ideal for anyone dealing with tight hips, a stiff or aching lower back, stress, or difficulty sleeping.
