40 Min Yin Yoga for Lower Back & Hips | Gentle Release & Relaxation

Release tension through your lower back, hips and surrounding muscles with this gentle 40 minute Yin Yoga practice. This slow and calming sequence focuses on creating space through the spine, hips and glutes with long held postures, gentle mobility and supported stretches. It is a great practice for days when your lower back feels stiff, your hips feel tight or you simply want to slow down and move with more awareness. We begin with gentle neck and spinal mobility before moving into Puppy Pose and Sphinx Pose. From there, the practice becomes increasingly grounding with supported hip opening, Reclined Pigeon, spinal twists and Happy Baby. A pillow is used throughout the class to make several poses more comfortable and supportive. You can also use a folded blanket or yoga bolster if that feels better for your body. The class ends with an extended Savasana and a guided full body relaxation to help you completely unwind. In this practice: • Gentle spinal mobility • Neck and upper back release • Puppy Pose • Sphinx Pose • Supported hip opening • Reclined Pigeon • Gentle spinal twists • Happy Baby • Lower back and hip mobility • Long held Yin Yoga poses • Guided full body relaxation • Extended Savasana This is a slow and gentle practice, but if you currently have a back injury, a herniated disc, significant pain or any other medical concern, please check with your doctor, physiotherapist or another qualified healthcare professional before practising.
