⏳ 1-Hour Feel Good Yin Yoga for Deep Fascia Release | Long 10-Minute Holds

Slow down, soften, and go deep. This 1-hour Yin Yoga practice is designed to release deep fascia, calm the nervous system, and create lasting openness through long, mindful 10-minute holds. Rather than adding complex poses, we return to familiar, essential shapes and stay with them longer. This allows subtle, powerful changes to unfold from the inside out. This is a feel-good Yin Yoga class for anyone who sits a lot, feels tight in the hips or spine, or wants to experience the deeper benefits of fascia-focused yoga. Expect slow transitions, longer moments of silence, and plenty of time to listen to your body as it responds. Feeling grateful?
