Follow along with this guided meditation on the Five Essentials from any comfortable position.

Throughout a simple yin yoga practice, we’ll tap into both external and internal elements of our immediate experience to quiet our minds and stay anchored into our practice.

Equipment needed: 2 blocks, wall space, blanket (optional)

The Five Essentials provide guidance on what to do during the stillness of a yin posture, help us strengthen our felt sense of our bodies, and gently nudge us into a state of relaxation.

Equipment needed: 2 blocks for my suggested shapes, but endlessly adaptable, so don’t let that stop you!
