Find Freedom and Deep Relaxation in Your Hips with Yin Yoga and Breathwork

Dive into a 30-minute journey of self-discovery and deep relaxation with Carole Carter in this Yin yoga and breathwork class, designed specifically to target your hips. This class promises a sense of belonging within yourself as you release tension and find greater freedom of movement in your hips.

A Complementary Approach: Yin Yoga and Breathwork

Throughout the session, Carole will expertly guide you through a series of gentle stretches and mindful breathing exercises. These aren’t your typical quick-paced yoga flows. Yin yoga focuses on holding deep meditative stretches for extended periods, allowing you to sink into your body and target those often-tight hip muscles. By combining these stretches with breathwork techniques, the class aims to create a pathway towards deep release and increased hip mobility.

A Class for Every Body

This class caters to all levels of experience. Carole understands that everyone’s body is unique, and she’ll provide modifications and options throughout the session. This ensures you can participate comfortably and effectively, regardless of your yoga background. Props like bolsters, blocks, and blankets are recommended to further enhance your experience and support your body in the various poses. However, the beauty of Yin yoga is that it’s adaptable, and you can still reap the benefits of the class even if you don’t have any props on hand.

What to Expect in the Class

So, if you’re looking to improve your overall well-being, this Yin yoga and breathwork class can be your perfect starting point. Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect:

  • Warm-up and breathwork foundation: The class begins with gentle stretches to prepare your body for the deeper work to come. Carole will also guide you through some basic breathwork exercises, familiarizing you with the technique of using your breath to connect with your body and enhance the yoga experience.
  • Yin yoga poses targeting the hips: The heart of the class will involve a series of Yin yoga poses specifically designed to target your hips. Carole will take you through poses like wide-leg forward fold, goddess pose, or yogi squat. Remember, these poses are held for extended periods, so the focus is on finding stillness and breathing deeply to allow your body to fully relax and release tension.
  • Exploration with props: The class will incorporate props like bolsters, blocks, and blankets to support your body in the various poses and deepen the stretches. For instance, using a bolster in a reclined pose can help open up your hips further, while blocks can provide extra support for those who find it challenging to reach the ground comfortably in certain poses.
  • Cooling down and savasana: The final portion of the class will ease you into a state of deep relaxation. Gentle stretches and mindful breathing will help bring your body back to a resting state. Finally, you’ll settle into savasana, also known as corpse pose, where you can fully integrate the benefits of your practice and allow your body and mind to completely unwind.
