Autumn Nourishment - Yin Yoga Workshop

Description

Tune into nature's rhythms and harness the grounding, reflective energy of Autumn. In Chinese Medicine, the lungs and large intestine are the organs associated with this season - key for immunity and digestion. Whether consciously or subconsciously it is a time when we are feeling cooler and calmer than the social exuberance of the summer months, and in many ways the organs that are ruling this time are about letting go; of perpetually futurising, of possessions we don't need, of behavioural patterns that are unhealthy, of regretting parts of our lives we deem to be wrong or a failure. Physically our yin sequence will target the tissues around the upper body - shoulders, arms, neck and back. Expect a little joint-freeing qi gong movement, an extended deep stretch sequence and a soothing yoga nidra (a type of meditation accessed through states of relaxation). Autumn in TCM Colour: White Emotion: Grief / Courage Element: Metal What is yin yoga? Yin yoga is a calming yet powerful practice where postures are held for minutes at a time, rather than a few breaths. The connective tissues of the body (your network of fascia) can carry tension, stress and emotional histories. We might experience this as a congested shoulder, hip flexor or sore lower back. Through methodical, informed and sustained stretching and compressing, we are able release these blockages. It is a challenging but rewarding exercise for the body and mind which can transform how freely we move and think. Class sizes are limited - a small, friendly group so that you are given the individual attention you deserve, modifications will be offered if you are working with body quirks/injuries. Sweet treats and teas provided. For more information on what to bring, equipment and Covid-19 safety, please see FAQs.
