Yin for Hips & Shoulders + Neck Release with Carla | ~30-Minute Calm at Home (All Levels)

Описание: A soothing Yin practice for hips, shoulders, and low back—long, supported holds and a blissful neck release—so you finish grounded, spacious, and calm.

Hi, I’m Carla. Tonight we’ll slow things down and let the poses do the work. We’ll settle into low lunge to open the front of the hips, melt into outer-hip shapes, add gentle shoulder work, then close with a supported neck release that feels like a reset for your whole system. Clear cues, kind pacing, and options for every body.

What you’ll do

Arrive in Down Dog to wake the back line, then Low Lunge to open the front hip.

Glide into outer-hip work: Pigeon or 90/90, with support to keep knees happy.

Sit for Shoelace (Gomukhasana) legs + strap option to free the triceps/rotator cuff.

Add Eagle arms with small neck tilts to soften upper back/neck tension.

Reset with windshield wipers and a simple rotator-cuff stretch (one arm at a time).

Finish on your back with a block-supported neck release and a quiet rest.

Props

Have 2 blocks, a strap (or belt/scarf), and a blanket or bolster. Use any support under knees, hips, or forehead that helps you settle. For the neck release, you’ll want one firm block (or a sturdy book).

Who it’s for

All levels—especially anyone seeking hip relief, shoulder ease, and a nervous-system downshift you can feel right away.
