Yin Yoga For Sore Hips and Lower Back

Welcome to this 45-minute yin yoga practice for lower back pain relief, specially designed to soothe tension, improve spinal alignment, and support the deep stabilising muscles of your core and lower back.

In this guided class, we move slowly and intentionally through poses like prone relaxation, half frog pose, half saddle with a lateral stretch (targeting the QL), a gentle twist, half shoelace, and supine butterfly—all with a focus on maintaining a neutral, straight spine to prevent compression and discomfort in the lumbar region.

As you continue to practice these new classes with me you will gain insight into how yin yoga supports the fascia, joints, and connective tissues, and learn how subtle changes in alignment can help protect the sacroiliac joints, hip flexors, psoas, QL, and lumbar spine. Whether you're a yoga teacher, yoga student, or someone managing chronic lower back discomfort, this practice blends functional anatomy with the meditative stillness of yin.

What this class offers:

Slow, floor-based postures held for time

Deep awareness of spinal alignment

Verbal anatomy cues throughout

Ideal for sciatica, tight hips, and back stiffness

Suitable for all levels, especially those with a regular yin or slow yoga practice

Remember:
Set up your space with props like blankets, bolsters, or blocks to support comfort and depth for your practice, so you can truly relax into the experience.

If you find this class supportive, leave a comment and let me know how it felt in your body—or share it with a friend who struggles with lower back pain.
