Yin Yoga Class without Props!
Introduction to the Practice
Hey friends! I hope you are all well out there! So I thought I would share with you my Yin yoga practice with no props- it's perfect for when you are stuck in situations where you don't have much to use or even space. I also added a link to my Spotify playlist to go with it and my current favourite Yoga Nidra and Meditation resource that you can do after the class to relax.
