Benefits of yin yoga

“I love Wednesdays since I started online yin yoga in November. It’s great to have something scheduled in the evening. On the days when I practice yin I sleep better and wake up in a very relaxed, cozy-in-my-body, state the next morning.”
Yin yoga is a slow, therapeutic practice for everyone—whether you’re busy-minded, seeking relaxation, or struggling to unwind. By holding seated or lying-down poses for 3–5 minutes, it softens muscles, joints, and connective tissues, helping to reduce stress, improve mobility, and foster inner balance.
The focus is on releasing tension and increasing flexibility without the need for performance, while encouraging mindful presence in your body. This strengthens both physical and mental wellbeing, even off the mat.
Breathing, mindfulness, and slowness are core elements of yin yoga. Props like cushions, blankets, or towels can be used for support—no special equipment is required. It’s also a great complement to other forms of exercise, and helps the body recovery more effectively.
“The Wednesday evening yin classes with Camilla are the highlight of my week. It’s so nice to re-connect with the group online and find out how everyone’s doing. Camilla is really attentive and accommodating and she’s always prepared to show alternative poses whenever we might need them. I love the themes she brings into her classes, making them so much more than a simple yin yoga session – it’s food for thought that usually stays with me throughout the week. And the recording is available between classes in case I want to repeat the session.”

tips for practicing yin yoga
Find Your Edge
Find a balance in each pose—enough sensation to feel engaged, but not so much that it becomes painful. Always avoid pain, but mild discomfort or a deep stretch is normal and part of the process.
Transition Slowly
Move gently in and out of poses. Take your time to settle into position and exit with care, allowing your body to adjust.
Hold for Time
Stay in each pose for 3–5 minutes, as connective tissues need time to respond. Use your breath to stay present and manage the sensations that may build in your body.
Invite Stillness
Once in a pose, aim to remain still and soften into it. Let go of the urge to fidget or adjust, even if it feels challenging at first. Regular practice will make this easier over time.
Focus on the Present
Direct your attention to the area of your body engaged in the pose. Observe what arises—physically, emotionally, or mentally—without judgment or the need to act on it.
Breathe Deeply
Take slow, deep breaths into your abdomen to help your body relax and your mind stay centered.

“It’s always a pleasure to practice yin yoga with you and doing it live together adds value to my experience. The Wednesday evenings became a part of my routine, which is great. I hope this will continue for some more time.”
