Yin Yoga for Pain Relief: Your Gentle Path to Healing

Why This Class Will Change Your Mornings (and Your Body)

Wednesdays at 7am might feel early, but imagine starting your day not with rushing or stress, but with deep relief flowing through your body. Our new Yin Yoga for Pain Relief class isn't just another yoga session - it's a sanctuary for bodies that hurt and hearts that need holding.

What Makes This Class Different

Led by Bri or Ustina, both specially trained in therapeutic yin approaches, this class understands that pain isn't just physical - it's emotional, mental, and spiritual too. They don't just teach poses; they create a space where your body can finally exhale and your nervous system can remember what safety feels like.

The Beautiful Benefits Waiting for You

Physical Relief That Actually Lasts

• Gentle, sustained poses that release deep tension in connective tissues

• Improved circulation to areas that hold chronic pain

• Natural reduction in inflammation through mindful movement

• Enhanced flexibility without force or strain

• Better sleep quality (yes, even from a morning class!)

Emotional Healing You Didn't Know You Needed

• Permission to feel whatever comes up - tears, frustration, or unexpected joy

• A space where your pain is witnessed with compassion, not judgment

• Community with others who understand the weight of chronic discomfort

• Tools for emotional regulation that you can take into your day

Nervous System Reset

• Activation of your body's natural healing response

• Decreased stress hormones and cortisol levels

• Improved mood and mental clarity for the entire day

• Grounding techniques that help you feel present in your body

How We Hold Space for Your Healing

At Nurture, we know that bodies in pain need different things. Bri and Ustina create an environment where:

• Props are abundant (bolsters, blankets, blocks - whatever your body needs)

• Modifications are normalized (lying down instead of sitting, taking breaks, leaving your mat entirely)

• Your pace is honored (if a pose doesn't serve you, you don't do it)

• Silence is sacred (this isn't about chatty morning energy - it's about deep inner listening)

• Tears are welcome (sometimes pain needs to move through us, not around us)

What to Expect in Your First Class

You'll arrive to soft lighting and gentle music. Bri or Ustina will check in with you personally - not to fix or diagnose, but to understand what your body needs today. Poses are held for 3-7 minutes, allowing your fascia and deeper tissues to slowly release patterns of holding. There's no rushing, no pushing, no performing.

Some days you might feel immediate relief. Other days, the benefit might be the simple act of showing up for yourself when everything hurts. Both are perfect.

Who This Class Serves

• Anyone managing chronic pain conditions (fibromyalgia, arthritis, old injuries)

• Bodies that feel stiff and stuck from desk work or repetitive movement

• Nervous systems that run on high alert

• Hearts carrying the emotional weight of physical discomfort

• Anyone who's been told to "just push through" the pain and is ready for a different way

Your Invitation to Begin Again

Wednesday at 7am isn't just a time slot - it's an appointment with your own healing. It's 75 minutes where your pain gets to be seen, your body gets to be heard, and your spirit gets to remember that you deserve gentle care.

Ready to try? Your first class is on us. Because healing shouldn't have a barrier, and every body deserves to feel what relief can feel like.
