Join yoga teacher Felicity O’Dea and experienced acupuncturist Louise Norton for a releasing and restoring Autumn session of mediation, yin yoga, yoga nidra, aromatherapy, moxibustion and acupuncture.
This rejuvenating two-hour session will help to stimulate chi (energy) and restore vitality with practises focused on the Lung & Large Intestine meridian pair.
Autumn is the beginning of the yin cycle and in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Autumn identifies with the metal element, which cultivates the movement of letting go and enriching ourselves, by pulling inward and finding meaning. We see this in nature - There is a slight nip in the air. The days are starting to get shorter. The body naturally wants to pare down, introvert and begin a season of focused energy. There is a radical shift that is almost palpable during autumn when the energy that previously flowed outward turns inward in preparation for the winter ahead. Autumn is the time to let go of unneeded energies from your life, like the leaves that die and let go of the tree limbs that were holding them.
Our lungs and large intestine are connected to this season through their purpose of purification and elimination. Through the breath, the lungs take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide and the large intestine absorbs water, nutrients and eliminates any waste. This Yin Yoga sequence and accompanying meditations, intention, acupressure and acupuncture allows us to let go of what no longer serves us, with the poses designed to gently open our chest and lungs as well as supporting digestion and promoting elimination.
You will emerge from this session feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. After the session you will be given some time to ease back into reality with the offering of a warming and soothing beverage (Choice of an Ayruvedic tonic of turmeric, ginger, lemon and honey or a Tonemade bone broth with extra ginger and turmeric).
