Yin Yoga for Quads, Thighs & Hip Flexors
Hey yogis, I'm back with a brand new Yin Yoga class filmed in beautiful Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica! This class was a special request from one of my subscribers and focuses on opening up the quads, thighs and hips flexors.
There aren't very many yin yoga poses that focus on the quads, but there are four and those are the ones we'll be doing today. The poses include: laying quad stretch, twisted lizard/dragon, reclined hero and cat pulling it's tail.
The quadriceps are big muscles at the front of the thighs that can get quite tight, especially for athletes. This practice will target the entire front of the thigh, from the hip flexors all the way down to the top of the knee. This is a great yin yoga class to do if you have knee tension, although people with acute knee injuries should not practice this!
Make sure you have lots of props such as a blanket, two blocks and a strap.
What is Yin Yoga? Yin yoga is often called the Yoga of the joints because unlike other styles of yoga, the emphasis is not on the muscles but on the deep connective tissue. Connective tissue is made up of fascia, ligaments and tendons which surround and form your joints. Yin yoga improves the range of motion in your joints and also strengthens them. The results and benefits are more flexibility and greater range of motion and also more stability within your joints. Although your muscles will also be stretched, that is not the focus of the practice. It is best to practice yin yoga while your muscles are cold and NOT warmed up, even if that sounds counter intuitive. The reason we do this is so that we can send the "stress" and the "Stretch" to the connective tissues. If the muscles are warm they will steal the focus away from the joints.
There are 3 principles of Yin Yoga.
1. Find your edge
2. Be still
3. Hold the pose

Hey yogis, I'm adding on to my popular Minimal Cues yoga series with a 45 minute practice geared towards intermediate to advanced students!
Get ready to stretch your hips and hamstrings with this dynamic flow. In a minimal cues practice I will only tell you the name of the pose and we will hold each pose for about 3 breaths. This is ideal for experienced students or yoga teachers who want to be guided in their practice without hearing to much chatter.
We'll be working our way into some pretty deep poses such as revolved triangle and splits. I'm not using any props for this class.
If you enjoy minimal cues make sure to try the other ones I have available on my channel! Just search "minimal cues yoga" in the YouTube search bar to find them :)

By popular request, here's a brand new minimal cues yoga flow! This class is great for intermediate to advanced students or yoga teachers who are already familiar with proper alignemnt in poses. I won't be talking during class other than naming the pose. We'll be in each posture for about 3-5 breaths unless specified otherwise!
This is a great 45 minute full body vinyasa flow class to stretch, strengthen and work on balance. You'll even have the opportunity to come into forearm stand for some inversion work! No props are required.
The beauty of minimal cues practices is that they allow you to really tune in to your own practice and stay in the present moment. This is a great yoga class for introspection. I hope you enjoy it!

Yin Yoga for Front Splits:
• 1 hour Yin Yoga Splits Training Class...
Hey friends, this week's Yin Yoga class is a 50 minute practice to help you achieve your side splits! (Or as some people call it, middle splits). If you have tightness in your inner groin and hamstrings this class will definitely do the trick.
If practiced regularly, you will notice a lot of improvement in your flexibility. I plan on doing this routine a few times a week myself as middle/side splits are a big weakness of mine and something I want to improve on!
You'll need 2 blocks and a blanket in order to do this practice. I was joined by my little kitty Kitkat :)
