Yin Yoga “Good Sleep”

About This Class

This calming Yin Yoga class is intentionally crafted as a pre-sleep ritual, guiding practitioners through approximately two-minute passive holds that target the hips, inner thighs, spine, and lower back. Travis opens with child's pose and cat-cow to melt spinal tension, then progresses through sphinx and seal pose for a gentle backbend, bound angle and seated straddle for the groin and hamstrings, seated forward bend for the full posterior chain, supported bridge for the lower back and hips, and supine thread-the-needle with a wrapped spinal twist on both sides before settling into a final corpse pose. Throughout, the emphasis is on surrender, yielding to gravity, and releasing the "doing" mindset — both physically and mentally — making this class ideal for anyone dealing with end-of-day stress, tight hips from sitting, or difficulty winding down. Props such as blocks and bolsters are offered as options to deepen the restorative quality of the practice.
