Depending on who you ask, there are about 26 Yin Yoga poses, or asanas. Yin yoga does not require many asanas because we hold each pose for several minutes at a time. A full practice might therefore only include a half dozen or so poses.
Below is a list of 37 asanas from the Yin Yoga Deck. They are also all explored in the Free 100-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training. Click a pose to learn more about the pose's benefits, how to access the pose, how to modify the pose for your body, when not practice the pose, and its various counter poses.
