Somatic Yin Yoga: 40 Minutes to Reset Your Nervous System

A full somatic Yin practice working through the hips, hip flexors, and the length of the back body, but the poses are not really the point. It starts and continues with one fundamental question: what do you notice?

Each shape is held for 3 minutes, with teaching that asks you to pay attention to what you actually notice rather than to achieve a particular depth or outcome.

The practice opens and closes with rest pose and a full-body scan, which helps the nervous system respond more easily to passive, sustained holds.

Suitable for all levels. Blocks and bolsters or a folded blanket are useful but not essential. The most important quality you can bring to this practice is your curiosity.
