Get into those hips

I had too turn this class off because the teacher spoke all through the poses. In Yin I need quiet. Thank you

Jose, ...this is one of the best practices I have ever done. THANK YOU! My hips have always been aligned in an unusual way, and I used that as a teenager to my advantage because I was a very fast breast stroker and I used to compete in swimming. Now I have a connective tissue disorder which makes me really inflamed. My inflammation is everywhere, but often targets the hips, which were in such heavy use. What's worse is that... basically, because my hips are a funny shape, many yoga poses for the hips don't work for me. So it's a double whammy - the part that often needs the most help doesn't get it. I SO appreciate your taking the time to go over options. I always love your classes but this one was really fantastic. Hips are usually really frustrating for me to work on, but ... you nailed it and I felt great all along :) THANK YOU!!!

Thank you. Good to practice yin, and the variations were really useful.

Thank you, I needed some yin today! xxx

Bananas your neighbors ha ha, for all that noise! XDXDXD! Great class José as always! Te mando mucho amor! ॐ

Great new poses to explore! Thank you for the class, but could you speak up a bit more in future videos? I had troubles understanding what you said a few times.

Wow! Great practiced deep surrender for each Yin pose, felt good stretch & felt so good . THanks for sharing this class, Namaste

Thank you..... great class....felt the rebound of energy after each asana.x

Thank you Jose, loved that class.

super class

Thank you Jose for the very helpful variations. I enjoyed your class.

Really wonderful class and appreciated all the variations you offered, along with your sensitivity to possible compression or discomfort different poses can cause different bodies. Thank you Jose.

Thank you.

Dankjewel José! Fijn om het weer even zelf in een les te krijgen en weer wat nieuwe dingen mee te nemen. Leuke les. En succes vanmiddag met de yinles xl!

Hi José! Whenever I stretch my inner thighs, I feel it mainly in the knee area. I moved around a lot in the first two poses to feel it more in other places and not only there (as you were very specific about that!) but now I'm curious: why is that important? I thought that maybe my knee was my tight spot, and with time things would loosen up and I would feel it in other places as well.

Hi José! Thank you for this practice. I have a question about the saddle position. I have very tight muscles, which is why I try to do as much yin yoga as I can, but I found I was unable to do all the variations for this pose. What I ended up doing was sitting upright on my knees/heels on 2 blocks. This is the only way for me to sit on my feet, and it's still very tight. I'm not sure what I can do to soften the muscles on my shins and front of thighs, please let me know if you have any suggestions. Namaste!

Great class, thank you. I think i found my saddle variation :-) , cant put that in the assignment anymore though ;-). The wall, great.

Wonderful! Great value Thankyou!

What I loved about this session is the variations.. giving an awareness of the areas targeted encouraging exploration to find how it feels the most in the RIGHT places.. I have found it increasingly difficult to do regular 'sleeping swan' or even 'pigeon' because although I have strong flexibility in the area, my left knee suffers.. So now I teach my elder ladies, including myself to use your Deer/Pigeon pose.. When I could feel the target area trying out the different poses/variations was so informative. I love people I teach to know what's going on, to understand a pose so they can focus on the area it's stimulating. I like that word too. Thank you.. excellent session.

Thank you ,lovely clear explanations and yummy variations.

I feel the energy flow in the spine every time I go deep into the pose. Tension in target muscles and parts of the body are more or less evident. For me the most contract are the hamstrings. After this class I have the impression to be more in the center, as my trunk would be inscribed in a rectangular form. The consequence is a peaceful sensation, something light and floating as a white soft cloud. Really good lesson to study the position. Thank you José

Thank you Jose, this is an excellent class. Taking time to try out the variations allows really getting into the focused area of the pose.

The Swan variation is excellent. I feel more stable.

Excellent class, I finally understood targeted areas in different poses and variations. Thanks

Thank you Jose. The variations for the single leg poses were really helpful. Thanks

Shiny happy hips;)

Thank you Jose I learned so much beneficial awareness and sensation understandings

I really appreciate the variations you give José, the reminder that we are all different with our musculoskeletal structure helps me to force myself less into the “perfect” position. I can find myself doing this in such a subtle way sometimes. The sense of release afterwards is great. 🙏
