Yin Deep Release

What you will learn

Long, patient holds and supported shapes that reach deep connective tissue. David Okafor teaches you how to stay long enough to feel the release without overloading the nervous system — the practice people call 'the reset'.

• Hold yin postures for 3–5 minutes safely and comfortably
• Target fascia through hips, hamstrings, spine and shoulders
• Set up every pose with props for your own body
• Build a 25-minute evening wind-down routine
• Understand the difference between yin, long-hold and restorative

Amara's live Sunday flow is where most of our community shows up. Expect heat, clear anatomy cues and a genuinely welcoming room for first-timers.
