Yin Yoga for Quads, Thighs & Hip Flexors 

Hey friends, a viewer requested a yin yoga class for the quads! This is a 40 minute practice that will deeply open up the front of the thighs from the hip flexors all the way down to the knee.

I appreciate that you do a full length of savasana in your videos. Most youtube instructors cut it early, telling the viewers to continue their savasana at home. However my youtube is set to play the next video automatically and it always disturbs my rest by having to quickly pause the video or search for the remote. Thanks for including the FULL practice in your videos.

I found these poses challenging compared to most yin yoga, but a great relief after overworking legs with squats, lunges, and/or plyo!

That hero pose tip (blanket over the back of the knees) is a life saver. It's usually really painful for me to hold that pose for a long period of time. With the blanket it just felt super cosy 🥰

I did not know I needed this, but my quads are so thankful now. And the birds singing in the background! Pure bliss.

I have cried ( almost lol) yelled out loud in the lizard pose one side until I could hold the foot..... Wooow hurt so good . Love you Kassandra, you are. Life changer, saver - mean it. Love everything about your approach to yin yoga and your beautiful soul..... Blessings

I absolutely loved the background noises, no need for any music when you have birds. Wonderful class.

Incredible class. I really enjoyed the reminder at the appropriate time, to be at a 4/5 intensity. It’s easy for body weight to make lizardXquad to make it a 10 instantaneously, but using core to pull back a little (and then relaxing core) really helped. Also I love the sound of Costa Rica in this series. I think you should collect birdsong and layer that as your background music ALL the time!!!! Love, Emily

🥰Loved this...just diagnosed with a femoral nerve damage. Dr said yoga was ok as long as no pain. Perfect stretch with my tight quad.

what a wonderful practice! loved the sound of the birds singing!

I love this practice and have done it twice now. But once you hear the birds are on a loop you can't unhear it. :)

Awesome! Would love more quad strengthening and lengthening classes!

Thank you for the yoga practice. The birds were lovely. I found the poses extremely difficult so I simply modified in order to finish.

Just finished this practice and my legs feel so light and I dont't feel discomfort and tightness in my quads anymore. Also my knees aren't cracking when i flex my legs . Thank u so much!

Second time for day4! ;) Never regrets. Done this morning with real birds singing at home mixing with your beautiful background. I am more calm and open now. I am blessed! Thank you! 🙏❤️

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! These poses helped me so much after my 2 hr flight turned into 4+ hours. 4 hours is my absolute limit and breaking point for sitting. Bless you. ❤️

It was challenging in a good way. That just means I need to revisit this class often.

This was amazing - especially that last stretch just BURNS my outer hips/legs so much, and feels really relieved afterwards, like it's alive again.

Wow! Thank you so much. I just started doing Barre and after finishing this video I realized I don’t stretch my quads and hips enough afterwards I could live in these poses. Love it. ❤️❤️

This was SO lovely! Even more so with the sounds of the birds in the background. What a beautiful place! 😍

Brilliant practice! The birds 🐦 in the background took me away from my NYC apt and landed me on my mat right there with you! Thank you 🙏

Beautiful. I loved the sound of the birds as well

Beautiful workout and stretch in a deliberate well paced manner especially for myself as an endurance cyclist whose body is stiff, rigid and rehabbing from a serious back injury nearly a year ago. I am seeking to attain flexibility first while strengthening my core. Further to gain more stability in my lower back around the L-3 so I can sustain long rides of 50-150 miles this summer. LMK if you come up with more cyclist specific yoga sessions, that would be AWESOME!! Thank you Much.

LOVE this class for the thighs, it made me feel so spacious and open afterwards. Kassandra. I love you. You have such amazing classes. By far my favorite online instructor! Thank you so much! You inspire me to teach great classes as well

I'm so glad that I found this! I have been doing your yin classes for some time and am only realizing now how I've neglected my quads. These are very challenging poses! I find it hard to relax into lizard pose in yin style. Any tips there? Thanks!

Girl. You just helped me give life back to my legs. Thank you so much. Keep it up you make a difference!

I really enjoyed this one. The quad stretch felt really good after waking up sore from my leg workout yesterday. The birds in the background helped me feel calm and relaxed. Thank you!

Wow this was amazing. I scrolled back farther in your yin list than usual. This was a golden oldie!

I'm already a big fan of your yin classes but this was awesome. Recently hit the gym and my legs have been ravaged but thanks to this practice, I feel rejuvenated and relaxed. Thank you, Kassandra. Much love from South Africa

Some of these poses I simply could not do. Thanks for your teaching

thank you Cassandra, this is so fantastic and I love the bird songs. what a beautiful space to practice!

Thanks so much for this focused and targeted class. Hip flexors and quads are my biggest challenge. I'll be returning to this practice often!

Skiid for 3 hours today so this was so helpful!! Thank u again Kassandra. I watch your channel everyday

That was the nicest backdrop and best soundtrack yet!!!

Just what I needed this morning in 2022. Another great workout!

Hi kassandra, just want say you are amazing...I first started doing yin with your videos found at random and have since been hooked and that’s been a few weeks already. I use to do this in classes but your videos have helped me tremendously in developing a home practice. Your voice, pacing and background music are what draws me to your channel a\videos and of course all the poses. Thank you for spreading the beautiful practice of yoga with the world. Nameste. Keep up the good work!!

You are always awesome. I always go back to you when I need to relieve my aches and rest

Wowzers that was hard, but good to do, as I do have an hip issue, so feels good to give it a good stretch, thank you, namaste

In 6 years of yoga I experienced the most relaxing savasana after those intense opening postures. I almost dozed off to sleep!

Intense poses but wonderful! Loved the background sounds of the birds ❤️ Namaste xo

YEAH! I am going to your Costa Rica retreat in Nov 2019-!!! SO EXCITED! can hardly wait:-) Thank you Kassandra for hosting such a retreat!

Super fabulous and challenging!

This is wonderful. The birds chirping in the background are so amazing!

Aaah the last pose felt divine

Namaste, thanks so much for this video! You are an excellent teacher. This sequence helped me release a great deal of emotions stored in my legs. It is a great relief ! Love and light from India to you ❣️

Love all your classes Kassandra! Thank You! So glad I found your online channel. I love slower flows. Could you do a class focussing on increasing flexibility in the adductors and opening up the psoas muscles? I always thought it was my quads that were super tight but in actual fact it's my adductors and psoas muscles that are tight and impacting on other areas of my practice. Just a thought! Thanks! xxx

Loving lizard and the quad stretch

Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us! Yin Yoga has literally saved my body, and I’m so pleased to find a youtube channel that is focused on it.-Namaste

This is an amazing practice and does wonders for my body, especially the psoas...thank you!

You have become my fave yin yoga instructor! Thank you for doing these videos. Extremely beneficial!!!

Exactly what I needed after riding my bike to work all week. Thank you.

Thanks and namaste, lovely class !

When you are at work and you wanna do this practice right now.... pfft... On the playlist for tonight! Finally got to it... bliss!! I like thinking like a hammock two anchor points (hand-foot bind) then just relax everything in between... added to my weekly playlist.

Thanks for this lovely class, Kassandra! I was deep in my reclined hero pose when my cat snuck up behind me and meowed loudly into my ear. He must have heard the birds!

the bird sounds are lovely! thank you

Nice garden. This workout is perfect when you have done a lot of planks. Opens up all the front muscles. Thx a lot!

Loved the class!

Could also post a sequence on strengthening waist and lower back muscles.thanks

This was very challenging and one I will return to again. Thank you.

Preordered your book, looking forward to reading it. I can't do the first posture on my stomach because I get cramp in my hamstring, so I need to do it on my side. Great practice for me though because I do have tight quads and it band, I love my massage but hate it when she does my thighs, ouch! Much love, namaste 🙏 💖 💖 💖 💖

really enjoy your classes. so different from my current practice. thank you

I wish I could like this video more than once. Thank you!

Thank you Kassandra

Tough for me in most parts but really helpful thank you Cassandra ☮️❤️

This is a great one. helps with my knee from running. any other tips for knee pain besides stretching?

That was such a beautiful practice, thank you Kassandra!

Loved this practice and I especially loved the birds chirping in the background!

thank you this is soo relaxing.

yes yes yes! Thank you

Love your teaching style and ALL your videos!

This was lovely, Kassandra. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much kassandra

Hi Kassandra, thank you for your videos; I dance and tend to build big muscles very fast (mainly in my quads arms and soulders). I would like to avoid this and was advised to strech regularly. I also considered Yin Yoga for its overall benefits. Would you advise Yin yoga in my case or should I rather start a regular streching class? Thank you very much.

Thanks SO much for this lovely practice,made even more soothing by the beautiful birdsong!Congratulations on your Yin Yoga book...I REALLY hope it's available in Kindle format VERY soon!..

So happy for a quads class :)))))))))) and extra bonus with the sweet birdies in the background. Thank you SO much!

The quad stretch laying backwards was impossible with both legs so I did one a a time and hopefully will work towards both at the same time

Thanks again Kassandra fo another great session! Please give Cleo a cuddle for me! She is too cute! 🙏🏾💕🤗

Thank you!

I loved this yin class! And the birds chirping in the background made me feel like I was in the jungle!

Thanks!

That felt AMAZING on some seriously sore quads, thank you. Loved the bird song in the video too.

Since I need to work on my hips and thighs I found this yoga practice beneficial. Thanks I subscribed.

I enjoyed this very much. Was specifically looking for a hip workout. Thank you for sharing this. 🙂

I love your videos. Do you have anything for arms, intermittent tingling in the right arm? Or is this covered by the neck and shoulder videos?

Loved it!

Just what I needed after leg day yesterday. Thank you Kassandra

Thank you so much. Challenging, but deeply delicious! And that birdsong is just so relaxing.

This was AWESOME! I loved the sounds of the jungle in the background, and the balance of quad and hip stretches. So lovely, thank you so much Kassandra!!!

WOW! what a GORGEOUS location! I love your yin yoga classes and now in this setting it is that much more appreciated:-) hopefully we get a few more classes filmed in this beautiful location!

thank you

This was really nice my legs definitely needed this. It’s was so relaxing during the position at 20:05 I fell asleep for 20 minutes

Thank you 😊

Beautiful and challenging class, thank you Kassandra! 😊

Thank you so much Kassandra I'm always following your channel and enjoying yoga everday with you

An intense but enjoyable practice - loved that last stretch!! Thank you!

Kassandra thank you I needed some grounding today.

I super appreciated Oming together

can you please make a separate tutorial on lizard pose?

Thank you for this wonderful yin yoga practice. I love this and all your yin routines. ❤❤❤

Kassandra, thank you for this class. It's my first yin yoga practice, and I liked it! Thank you for sharing with us. If I could make one suggestion for improvement, I'd say that when you let your viewers know how to use props in various poses, stop saying, "I won't be needing them." It sounds a bit arrogant, and could discourage your viewers who actually do need props not to use them. Other than that, this was a great class. I LOVED the natural tropical soundtrack and back-drop. Well-done!
