Six long, passive hip holds totaling 13:15: two minutes in Butterfly Fold, two minutes per side of Dragon Lunge, 90 seconds per side of Sleeping Swan, and a three-minute Reclined Butterfly to close, with short settles between the groups.
Holds this long aren’t about effort — find an edge you can stay at without gripping, then let the remaining time pass through the shape. That’s what the settles are for: coming out of a long hold deserves a pause before the next one begins. For a fuller yin session, open the preset in the editor and take the main holds out toward three or four minutes.
Six rounds of 1:00 Sun Salutation A with 0:15 to settle between. One round is one full salutation taken at a steady, breath-led pace — find the rhythm and let each round flow a little smoother than the last.
A short, varied flow to take the body from sleep to ready. Asymmetric on purpose — each shape is held as long as it deserves, and the closing salutation is the longest piece.
Four prep drills rotated for two rounds at 0:40 work, 0:15 release. Neck, shoulders, spine, and hips — the four areas that need to be awake before any flow.
Four standing shapes rotated for three rounds at 0:45 work, 0:20 transition. Warrior 1, warrior 2, side angle, and triangle — moves through the entire standing vocabulary every round.
Four warrior variations, three rounds each, finished one shape at a time before moving on. Group format means progressive depth — each round, sink a little lower than the last.
Five rounds of 2:00 free vinyasa flow with 0:30 in down dog between. Build heat — chaturanga, up dog, down dog, lunge, repeat. Pick the cadence and stay with the breath.
Four standing balances rotated for two rounds at 0:45 a side, 0:15 reset. Pick a focal point on the wall, breathe slow, and accept the wobble — finding the balance is the practice.
Three plank shapes, four rounds each, finished one shape at a time. Group format stacks the holds — by the third round of side plank, the obliques will be talking.
Eight rounds of 0:30 boat pose with 0:30 rest. Lift the chest, point the toes, and keep breathing — the rest matters as much as the hold.
Closing sequence after a flow: long pigeons each side, supine twists, happy baby, and a four-minute savasana to finish. Asymmetric on purpose — savasana is by far the longest hold, as it should be.
