Yin yoga focuses mainly on the stressing of the tissues rather than stretching them. This is an important distinction because this style of practice, when done properly, can enhance joint mobility and flexibility.
Lucy gives you lots of variations in this class, so if a pose isn't accessible feel free to take the modification. Starting in a seated meditation you'll connect to your breath and body. You'll feel a beautiful lengthening throughout the body as Lucy gently guides you through this class with a focus on mindfulness and Vedic stories.
Find a quiet space and roll out your mat. You'll need yoga blocks and a bolster for this class but if you don't have these, find some stiff pillows and rolled up blankets.
