Join us for a divine 2.5-Hour Yin Yoga and Sound Bath experience, followed by a delightful tea and cake gathering to close.

 In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), spring denotes a time of renewal, growth, and expansion. It is thought of as nature's new year - a time for expansion, growth and putting goals into action. It is associated with the Wood element and corresponds to the liver and gallbladder meridians.

What Awaits You:

🧘‍♀️ Grounding, connecting and tuning into your heartfelt intentions for the year ahead. 

🧘‍♀️ Yin Yoga aligned to the Wood element associated with qualities such as growth, flexibility, creativity, and assertiveness. Exercises will target the Liver and Gallbladder Meridians. The liver is closely tied to emotional well-being, particularly the expression of anger and frustration. While the gallbladder governs decision-making and the ability to take action.

🎶 Sound Bath: Spring is considered a time for emotional cleansing and releasing stagnant energy, allowing energy to be put towards growth and development. Immerse yourself in the harmonious vibrations of crystal singing bowls and soothing melodies. Feel stress dissolve as you attune to the healing frequencies, leaving you refreshed and energised to work towards your goals.

🍵 Circle and Tea: We will close with tea and opportunity to connect with fellow participants in a warm and inviting atmosphere, savouring the sweetness of community and the joys of spring.

Slowly as we emerge from Winter and wander into Spring, according to Chinese medicine, we shift out of the Water element into the Wood element.

Where Winter was a lot about rest, restoration, and contemplation, Spring differs in that it has an accelerating energy that can drive us into creativity and growth - if we let it. In this workshop we will learn about Nature’s wisdom and how our bodies hold this same wisdom as we, too, are nature.

We will practice leaning into this wisdom, particularly the Wood element, through meditation and mantra, as well as a longer yin yoga practice which will have an embodied approach with a focus on somatics within the postures.

After emerging from these spiritual practices, there will be some time for journaling and sharing our experiences with each other.

Autumn Yin + The Art Of Letting Go Workshop

Join us for 2 hours of Yin Yoga honouring the Autumn season.
As we transition from the warmth of summer to the cooler days of autumn, our bodies and minds naturally seek balance and grounding.

In traditional Chinese medicine, autumn is represented by the Metal element, and the lungs and the large intestine, as well as the emotions of grief and nostalgia.

It is a time when leaves fall to the ground, decompose and create a fertile ground ready for the growth of spring.  The human body naturally follows suit... it wants to hunker down and let go. 

We will move through yin yoga poses to support the Metal element within, and the Lung and Large Intestine meridians related to the autumn season.

These meridians are particularly active during Autumn. By understanding their influence on our physical and emotional well-being we can attune to the season’s energy, promoting overall harmony, relaxation, and well-being.

Embracing the wisdom of autumn, we recognise the power of letting go. This practice will focus on the art of letting go, releasing what no longer serves us to make space for new growth and insights.

You will leave feeling refreshed, centered, and attuned to the transformative energies of the autumn season.
