After a long and busy day, finding a moment of peace can feel almost impossible. Our minds are constantly racing—planning, worrying, overthinking. That’s where Yaela’s calming yoga flow enters like a gentle breeze. With soft guidance and peaceful movements, she invites you into a space where the outside world fades, and your inner world gently opens.
The Setting
Yaela begins her session in a serene room filled with natural light. A few candles flicker in the corner, soft instrumental music plays in the background, and her tone is nurturing yet grounding. She sits cross-legged on her mat, palms resting gently on her knees, eyes closed. Her breathing is calm and measured.
“Let’s begin by arriving in this moment,” she whispers softly.
This is not just another yoga video. This is a sanctuary. A moment for yourself.
Breathing: The Gateway to Calm
The first part of Yaela’s session focuses entirely on the breath. She introduces deep belly breathing, guiding you to inhale slowly through the nose, expanding the belly like a balloon, and then gently exhaling through the mouth.
“Inhale peace,” she says. “Exhale tension.”
Each breath becomes an anchor, pulling you deeper into a relaxed state. Your heartbeat begins to slow. Your jaw unclenches. Even your shoulders begin to feel lighter. Yaela’s voice is like a lullaby, reminding you that there is nothing to fix, nothing to prove—just breathe.
Gentle Stretches to Release the Day
Once the breathwork is complete, Yaela invites you into seated neck rolls, followed by shoulder shrugs, and a gentle twist on each side. These small, simple movements start to dissolve the tightness that’s settled in your upper body.
She transitions into cat-cow pose, syncing movement with breath. As you arch and round your spine, you begin to feel a wave-like motion that soothes your nervous system. The spine loosens, and you feel less rigid—both physically and mentally.
“We store stress in our bodies,” Yaela reminds us. “With every stretch, we release some of that burden.”
Flowing Through Stillness
Next, Yaela gently moves you through a soft sequence: child’s pose, thread-the-needle, puppy pose, and low lunge. She moves slowly, intentionally, encouraging you to listen to what your body needs. Nothing is forced. This isn’t about achieving the perfect pose—this is about feeling.
Each posture is held a little longer than usual, giving your muscles time to fully relax. The forward folds allow your mind to turn inward, and the hip openers release stuck emotions you didn’t know you were carrying.
“In these moments of stillness,” Yaela says gently, “you can hear your own wisdom.”
It’s not just yoga—it’s a conversation with your body and soul.
Grounding with Yin Postures
About halfway through, the flow transitions into more Yin-inspired holds, where each posture is held for 2–3 minutes. This includes poses like reclined butterfly, dragonfly, and legs up the wall. These passive stretches encourage deep release and grounding.
With the support of bolsters or pillows, Yaela ensures every posture is comfortable. Her reminders are simple but powerful:
“Let gravity do the work.”
“Let go of effort.”
“You don’t need to hold everything.”
In these quiet holds, time seems to slow down. Your nervous system shifts into rest mode. Thoughts become whispers. You feel yourself melting into the floor, becoming one with the stillness.
Heart-Opening and Letting Go
The heart area is often tight from daily stress and emotional strain. Yaela leads a gentle supported fish pose, encouraging you to open the chest and breathe deeply into the space around your heart.
“Imagine every inhale softening the armor around your heart,” she says. “And every exhale carrying away whatever no longer serves you.”
This moment is deeply emotional for many. Some cry. Some smile. Others just breathe. And that’s the beauty of this flow—it gives you permission to feel.
Ending in Deep Rest: Savasana
No yoga session is complete without Savasana, the final resting pose. Yaela invites you to lie on your back, arms at your sides, palms facing up, and eyes closed. She dims the lights and lowers her voice to a soothing whisper.
“This is your time to just be,” she says. “Let the earth hold you. Let everything go.”
For the next few minutes, you do nothing. No stretching. No thinking. Just resting in stillness. It’s in this space that the true healing happens. Your mind is quiet. Your body is still. And your heart is open.
Yaela sometimes ends this part with a short guided meditation or a positive affirmation:
“I am safe. I am calm. I am enough.”
You might drift off or stay conscious. Either way, your mind and body have entered a state of peace that you may not have felt in days—or even weeks.
The Afterglow
When Yaela gently guides you back to a seated position, your energy is completely different. You feel softer, slower, more connected. You stretch your arms overhead, bring your palms together, and bow your head in gratitude.
“Thank yourself for showing up,” Yaela says, her eyes kind and sincere.
You smile quietly. The worries that once clouded your mind now seem distant. There’s space. There’s clarity. There’s calm.
This isn’t just yoga—it’s medicine for the soul.
Final Thoughts
Yaela’s relaxing yoga flow is more than just a physical practice—it’s an invitation to pause, breathe, and return to yourself. In a world that constantly demands your attention, she creates a sacred space for you to unwind and find stillness.
Whether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this calming flow is a beautiful reminder that peace isn’t something we chase—it’s something we allow. And with Yaela’s gentle guidance, peace feels not only possible but inevitable.
So unroll your mat, light a candle, and press play. Let Yaela guide you home to yourself.
