Yin Yoga for Beginners || 30 Minutes for Tight Hips & Hamstrings

🌿 This 20-minute session is built around the science of flexibility — long holds that reach connective tissue, parasympathetic breathwork before stretching, and three of the tightest areas for beginners: hips, hamstrings, and spine. Yin-influenced. Beginner-friendly. Props shown throughout. In this session: ✅ Box breathing — shifting into parasympathetic state before stretching ✅ Butterfly Pose — inner thigh & groin release (2.5 min hold) ✅ Sleeping Swan / Pigeon — outer hip & piriformis (2 min each side) ✅ Lizard Pose — deep hip flexor & inner groin (90 sec each side) ✅ Seated Forward Fold with strap — hamstrings & spine (2 min) ✅ Reclined Hand-to-Big-Toe — targeted hamstring release (90 sec each side) ✅ Happy Baby — full hip release ✅ Savasana — integration (2.5 min) Props used: yoga block, strap (or belt/scarf), folded blanket. All modifications shown — no props? No problem. 💬 What was the most intense pose for you?
