About This Class
Travis Eliot leads this 83-minute "Mother of All Stretches" Yin session with a clear peak-pose focus: Hanumanasana (full splits). The class systematically opens the lower body through a progressive sequence — Butterfly, Seated Diamond, Dragon (low lunge), Lizard, Frog, Dragonfly (wide-legged fold), Half Splits, and finally full Hanumanasana on both sides — with Downward Facing Dog and gentle windshield-wiper movements used as counter-stretches between long holds of 90 seconds to several minutes. A Camel variation adds a brief heart-opening backbend. The instructor weaves in consistent mindfulness cues, affirmation-based breath work ("let" on inhale, "go" on exhale), and philosophical reflections on patience, surrender, and wholeness. The class closes with reclining twists, a knee-hug, and Savasana. This practice is ideal for anyone seeking to release deep tension in the hips, hamstrings, hip flexors, psoas, quads, and inner thighs, and to cultivate a meditative, restorative state of mind after a long day.

Deceptively simple but a great stress wringer. Felt super relaxed at the end of it and happy. Thank you.

Absolutely loved everything about this class! Travis transmutes so much calmness and peacefulness in his voice and entire approach, my heart is flooded with love and gratitude. This is definitely some kind of “advanced Yin” if that exists, never held a full split pose that long and can’t wait for a deep, deep good-night sleep. Please offer more Yin classes on this platform :)))

I have to give it 5 stars because it challenged every part of my body including my mind and mental focus. I want to give it a 1 because so many poses were not comfortable – unfortunately they were not comfortable because there was work to be done in those areas and yin is not about being comfy and cost with sunshine and rainbows all the time. I truly felt that places had been touched that I didn’t realize needed attention.
