Let’s Do the Splits Yin

About this class

Welcome to another MerryBody Yin Yoga class! This class is specifically designed to stretch ALL the parts of the body to help you progress to do the full splits. Side note: we both cannot do the splits (yet!) AND being able to do the splits does not make you any better of a human, it simply means you’re quite flexible. The even better thing about stretching all of these (usually) tight places of the body is that you will stand taller and move with more ease. Oh, it’ll also bliss you the heck out. You’re welcome!

Alignment notes

Try to welcome in a calm breath, in and out through the nose. Yin is all about accepting the shape that you make. Take the stretch to only about 70-80%, settle in and breathe. Try to find the comfort in the discomfort and notice how after time, the discomfort begins to melt away.
