Autumn Awakened: Yin Yoga and Qigong Workshop
Long Summer days are often paired with change in routines and increase in social activities.
These along with intense heat depletes body and mind which that urge to restore balance as Autumn arrives. This season though can trigger a sense of grief or loss along with anxiety as cosy Winter and the festive season seam far ahead.
In Autumn Awakened you’ll learn how to nurture your body and mind through fluid movement that blends Yin Yoga with QiGong, to fully prepare yourself for this transition into many months of dry and cold air.
Yin Yoga and QiGong
Although Yoga has its origins in the ancient practice from India that names ‘vital force energy’ prana, the Yin style was developed using the framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine – TCM where energy is Qi which flows through channels called Meridians.
QiGong is a mindful movement practice supported by breath just like Yoga giving though a different insight into how these affect our internal organs and the relationship with the outside world. Expect mostly standing or seated practices which pair nicely with Yin Yoga that is mostly laying on a mat. Qigong seeks for fluid, soft moves when Yin Yoga searches for stillness; that’s why they complement each other perfectly, becoming Yin Yang in its best form.
During Autumn, Yin and QiGong focus on the Meridian channels that weave through Lungs and Large Intestines providing them with appropriate Qi because this season can trigger respiratory conditions as air temperature and humidity change, as well as gut imbalances as we alter diet. This workshop will also inform you on seasonal eating.
Autumn Awakened will end with a guided relaxation encouraging you to let go of what no longer serves you. Just as the trees start shedding their leaves, it’s time to acknowledge what no longer nurtures you physically and mentally, helping you to leave them behind and meet your balance.
