Yin yoga, explained

A slower kind of strong

Yin yoga holds each shape for several minutes, using bolsters and blocks to let gravity do the work. It suits tight hips, desk-bound shoulders and anyone who wants to slow down.

18mats max

Capped class sizes

Every yin class is capped at eighteen mats, so you get hands-on adjustments from your teacher, every time.

Before you come

Your yin yoga questions, answered

Everything to know before your first slow class at Cuba Street.

Still deciding?

See the full timetable or start your trial today.

Do I need to be flexible to start yin yoga?

No. Yin yoga works with props — bolsters, blocks and blankets — so your body is supported in every shape, whatever your starting point.

How is yin different from vinyasa flow?

Vinyasa flow is heated and moves between poses; yin is slower and unheated, with each shape held for several minutes. See Heated vinyasa flow for the faster-paced class.

What should I bring to my first class?

Wear comfortable, loose layers. Yin classes are unheated, so bring a jumper for the restful poses at the end.

How early should I arrive for my first class?

Arrive a few minutes early to meet your teacher and settle onto your mat before class starts.

How many people are in a class?

Every class is capped at eighteen mats, so you get hands-on adjustments and room to breathe.

Can beginners join yin yoga straight away?

Yes. Yin yoga is gentle and slow-paced, open to every body and every level — no experience needed.
