Yoga with Kassandra: Yin Yoga for Hips

by Suvata Yoga | Nov 18, 2023 | Yoga Videos

Do you have tight hips? This 45 minute yin yoga class will help you stretch out and relieve tension in your hips, low back, glutes and inner thighs.

I’ll take you through some of my favorite hip opening yoga stretches to help you improve flexibility. Yin yoga is a wonderful practice for your hips so I really hope you enjoy this one. Some of the yoga poses can be a bit intense so make sure you have plenty of props around you.

What is Yin Yoga? Yin yoga is often called the Yoga of the joints because unlike other styles of yoga, the emphasis is not on the muscles but on the deep connective tissue. Connective tissue is made up of fascia, ligaments and tendons which surround and form your joints. Yin yoga improves the range of motion in your joints and also strengthens them. The results and benefits are more flexibility and greater range of motion and also more stability within your joints. Although your muscles will also be stretched, that is not the focus of the practice. It is best to practice yin yoga while your muscles are cold and NOT warmed up, even if that sounds counter intuitive. The reason we do this is so that we can send the “stress” and the “Stretch” to the connective tissues. If the muscles are warm they will steal the focus away from the joints.

There are 3 principles of Yin Yoga.
1. Find your edge
2. Be still
3. Hold the pose

Use as many props as needed in Yin Yoga! Blocks, bolsters and straps are all great ways to support your body to make sure you are respecting your edge and not going too far.
