"Short on time but craving tension release? This yin yoga sequence delivers exactly that with a full-body-stretch. In just 15 minutes, you'll target tightness in your shoulders, back, hips, hamstrings, and ankles by simply lingering in each stretch for two minutes. The beauty of yin yoga lies in your patience. Breathe slowly and deeply. Settle into stillness. Let gravity do the work. Allow sensation to dissipate over time."
"Come to hands and knees and bring your big toes together and sink your hips toward your heels, sitting on a block or cushion if needed. Widen your knees to experience hip opening or keep them closer together to target the stretch along the back. Rest your forehead on the mat, a block, or your stacked hands as you come into Child's Pose. If you're not using your hands to support your head, let your arms relax alongside your body, palms up."
Perform a 15-minute yin yoga sequence that targets shoulders, back, hips, hamstrings, and ankles by holding each stretch for two minutes. Slow, deep breathing and stillness allow gravity to work and sensation to dissipate, releasing connective tissues—fascia, ligaments, and joints—to improve flexibility and mobility. Begin with Child's Pose and Melting Heart (Puppy Pose) with clear alignment cues and adjustments, such as sitting on a block, widening or narrowing the knees, or supporting the head. Use props or modify by hugging knees on the back to avoid knee or ankle pressure. Regular practice cultivates physical spaciousness, stability, and calm.
