"This soothing yin practice offers a gentle space to feel, release, and ease the emotional upheaval that comes with heartbreak. As you settle into stillness, you'll relinquish some of the weight of what you've been carrying and create room to breathe, process, and begin to heal. By the end of this yin yoga class, you'll feel a little more at peace with where you're at on your heartbreak journey."
"Begin in Child's Pose. Bring your big toes together to touch and draw your knees wide toward the edges of your mat. Ease your sit bones back toward your heels and place your pillow lengthwise between your knees. Instead of bringing your arms out long in front of you, lean forward over your pillow and give it a good hug. Release any tension in your shoulders and stay here for 3 minutes."
A gentle, supported 13-minute yin yoga practice guides a sequence of restorative poses designed to soothe emotional pain and facilitate healing after heartbreak. The practice emphasizes stillness, long holds, and supportive props such as an extra-squishy pillow and two blocks to create comfort. Poses include Child's Pose with a hugged pillow, repeated Cat-Cow movements to mobilize the spine, and a supported Sphinx Pose with the chest and forehead cushioned by a pillow and angled block. Each posture focuses on releasing tension, creating breathing space, and cultivating self-compassion. Consistent practice aims to lighten emotional burden and foster greater peace on the heartbreak journey.
