The Spirit of Nourishment - Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra

Traditional Chinese Medicine recognises a 5th season called Late Summer. Lasting around a month, we might identify this period as a time of harvest. Late Summer corresponds to the element of Earth and is a point of stillness in the cycle of the seasons. As we transition from the Yang (outward) energy of summer to the Yin (inward) energy of autumn and winter, we reap the nourishing bounty of the harvest and we are offered an opportunity to pause, assimilate and contemplate at every level of our being.


This workshop includes: 

Basic Acupressure: Locating and exploring specific points on the Spleen and Stomach meridians that helps us to address common ailments and symptoms of Earth imbalance. 

Yin Yoga: A grounding and relaxing practice to harmonise the flow of energy through the Spleen and Stomach meridians. This practice only involves long held stretches; no experience necessary.

Yoga Nidra: A 35 minute deep relaxation offers the perfect tonic to anxiety and fatigue; often caused by an imbalance of the Earth element.
