20 Min Yin Practice
Myofascial Release for Pelvic Health
•
24m
What is Yin yoga? Yin is a slow-paced, meditative style of yoga where passive and supported postures are held for long periods (typically 3+ minutes.) We use lots of props to "hold" us in each posture because they are longer holds. The practice targets deep connective tissues as well as muscles. It's amazing for flexibility, enhances circulation, and encourages relaxation by calming the nervous system.
In today's practice we are targeting the outer hips, side body & diaphragm and we end with a gentle supported backbend.
You'll need: 3 pillows (I used my couch pillows!) and 2 yoga blocks
