Yin Yoga For The Back

In this session, we stretch the muscles and connective tissue of the spine through forward folds, then compress them through backbends. This reverses the hunched posture that we quite often find ourselves in, particularly when we're inside and sitting a lot. A natural reaction for many of us against stress can also be to tense up the shoulders, so this class is great if you have any problems with your back or if you have bad posture. The poses are two forms of Butterfly Active & Sleeping Swan - find images on my website (see profile).

Victoria's Yin Yoga classes are designed to release tension and bring presence to body & mind. Bring a bolster (or pillow), some blocks (or books) and a blanket. Please make sure to listen to your body during the class and if anything doesn’t feel right, come out of the pose and rest. Your body is your responsibility.

Challenging for me but I will use regularly for bad posture

Great class with enough time and encouragement to make my own small adjustments and variations 💛

Some lovely stretches there, Victoria. And your voice and the birdsong together are very calming. The fact that this is a recording is also useful, not just because the class I was supposed to take today was cancelled, but because I didn't feel constrained by time. I still prefer live classes where I can look and see if I'm doing what you are doing, but being in very different time zones, that isn't about to happen soon. Gratitude for your work and you're being.

Just a few poses, held for enough of time for there to happen shifts for the body, mind and emotions. This was great!

This was truly amazing, thank you 🙏🏼
