10min Yin Yoga for Hips - Relaxing Yoga Class to Be Present Now and Feel Deeply Simple for Beginners
Hi! My name is Cha Wilde and I will be guiding you through a practice designed to help you focus on your sensations, relax, and find joy in the present moment. We'll flow through stretches, twists, and various poses like staff pose, butterfly pose, forward folds, and child's pose. Throughout the session, we’ll emphasize mindfulness, welcoming your thoughts and feelings, and discovering the beauty in each experience. We’ll finish with a closing meditation, and I’ll send you my well wishes.
Introduction
We begin with an opening sequence of poses and stretches. Start in staff pose, point and flex your feet, engage your leg muscles, and intentionally shake your body. The goal is to bring awareness to your legs and loosen up your body.
00:01:49 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bp9A-dX-xPc&t=109s) -- Contrasting Energies
Now, let’s explore contrasting energies. First, bring in flow, softness, and relaxation with gentle wiggling and shaking. Then, shift to a more structured approach: lengthen your spine, engage your core, and find a focused gaze.
00:03:03 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bp9A-dX-xPc&t=183s) -- Forward Fold and Turtle Pose
Move into a forward fold, hinging at the hips and reaching towards the floor with your chest. Feel the stretch in your hips and the lengthening of your torso. Transition into a rounded spine position, like a 'little turtle,' and welcome any sensations or thoughts that arise, embracing them without judgment.
00:05:34 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bp9A-dX-xPc&t=334s) -- Twists and Child’s Pose
Next, let’s do some gentle twists to the right and left. Follow with child’s pose, spreading your fingers wide, enjoying the present moment, and finding something beautiful to focus on.
00:07:42 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bp9A-dX-xPc&t=462s) -- Closing Sequence
For the closing sequence, take a seated position with your hands in prayer behind your head. Breathe into your armpits and the back of your rib cage. Return to a seated position, feeling the power in your core and softening your jaw. We’ll end with a closing meditation. I’ll send you my gratitude and well wishes as we conclude today’s session.
