25 min yoga collection for mobility, recovery, gentle strength, and sport or desk relief
This curated set of instructor-led yoga sessions helps you move better in a short window. It is ideal for beginners through intermediate practitioners, athletes looking to restore after training, and anyone who sits at a desk and wants targeted relief. Expect longer, calmer holds in restorative work, smooth mobility flows for hips, spine, and shoulders, and focused sequences for running, cycling, rowing, and computer-heavy days. Each class card shows a clear title, instructor credentials, session length, recommended props, and a brief sequence outline with an accessible transcript.
Program overview and how to navigate
Restorative: Purpose is downshifting your nervous system while opening hips, chest, and back; benefits include reduced tension and calmer breathing; props like a strap, blocks, or a folded blanket work well and a bath towel or sturdy books are easy substitutes; choose this if you want deep ease with longer holds.
Mobility: Purpose is gentle, joint-friendly range-of-motion work with twists and spinal decompression; benefits include better posture and smoother gait; use a strap or towel; choose this after sitting or travel.
Strength: Purpose is controlled time under tension in classic poses; benefits include balanced strength and stability; blocks help you keep form; choose this to build muscle endurance without high impact.
Sport or work specific: Purpose is targeted relief for runners, cyclists, rowers, and desk work; benefits include chest opening, hip flexor and quad release, thoracic rotation, and wrist care; choose this after a workout or a long computer session.
Equipment setup tip: place a folded blanket under your hips in seated folds to keep a neutral low back and slide two blocks or books under your hands to reduce wrist pressure during weight-bearing poses. Interval peek: restorative sessions use fewer transitions with longer holds, while sport-focused flows favor smooth progressions through heart opening, hip flexor release, and gentle twists. One metric to watch: keep breath easy and conversational; if it gets choppy, lower depth or use a prop. For continued recovery between training days, explore our mobility collection or the broader stretch and recovery hub, and browse more options in yoga.

Anyone seeking targeted mobility, gentle strength, post-activity recovery, or desk-related tension relief. The sessions fit easily into busy schedules and complement longer training or practice.

A mat plus simple items like a strap, block, or blanket. A bath towel can replace a strap and firm books can replace blocks.
How should I choose the right class for my goal?
Pick by outcome. Look for restorative for deep ease, mobility for range of motion, strength for controlled effort, and sport or work for targeted relief. Scan the short sequence outline to match the movement focus to your needs.
Are these sessions safe for beginners or those with back or neck issues?
Many sessions include beginner-friendly cues and modifications. Move within a comfortable range, stop with sharp pain, and consult a healthcare professional if you have a recent injury, chronic condition, or pregnancy.
How can I modify if flexibility is limited or wrists are sensitive?
Elevate the floor with blocks or books, bend knees in forward folds, use a blanket under hips to neutralize the low back, and swap weight-bearing on hands for forearm positions when needed.
