Yin Yoga Videos | Yogis Anonymous

Yin yoga is a slower, quieter form of yoga. Poses are held longer (sometimes up to five minutes each), and focus on the connective tissue--ligaments, tendons and fascia--around the joints. The intention is to increase blood flow and circulation in the joints, thus increasing flexibility and range of motion. Also, by embracing stillness, yogis learn to cultivate an “inner witness”, that is, the ability to observe what arises within without feeling the need to fix it, reject it, judge it or deny it. More flexible body, more flexible mind!

Seriously Deep Hips - Yin

By Ally Hamilton on Oct 31, 2019

Yin Intermediate

If you're looking for yin, look no further. Feel free to do this as a stand-alone practice at the end of your day (or after you've been moving around for awhile, it's not a practice for when your muscles are "cold"!), anytime you want to truly calm your nervous system and open your hips deeply, or pair it with a butt-whooper like these guys did. We start with a long hold in bound angle pose, move into long holds in head-to-knee forward bend, marichyasana variations, half frog pose, half lotus, and double pigeon. Breathe deeply as we move from one long hold to the next, and help your body release tension as we quiet the mind and soothe the soul.

Super Yin

By Ally Hamilton on Apr 26, 2017

Yin Advanced

Want to get right to it? Me, too. Get into your hips and hamstrings from all possible directions as you breathe deeply. If you want to really chill but also deeply open, this is for you. Perfect for before bed, days when you have little to no energy, times you're fighting insomnia, getting over a cold, or just want to open your hips like never before.

Deep Chill Hip Opener

By Ally Hamilton on Nov 23, 2016

Yin Beginner

Take seven minutes to give your hips some love, and to calm your nervous system. You can do this on a break during your work day, at night before bed, or in the morning, to ease your way into the day. Whenever you do it, there's no doubt that opening and releasing tension from your hips, hamstrings, hip flexors and psoas muscles does a body (and mind!) good.

Deep Hips and Hamstrings

By Ally Hamilton on Sep 3, 2013

Yin Beginner

A Yin Chill Pill. A practice designed to create space in the ligaments and connective tissue around the hips and the sacrum, as well as some deep hamstring opening. Long holds and conscious breath, as we release and relax, and practice the fine art of being, rather than doing. If you're looking for some deep hip-opening, if you're ready to move into stillness, this is for you.
