About this Event
Yin & Pins Summer
Join yoga teacher Felicity O’Dea and experienced acupuncturist Louise Norton for a releasing and restoring Summer session of mediation, yin yoga, yoga nidra, aromatherapy, moxibustion and acupuncture.
Summer represents the outward expression of energy, expansiveness, movement and activity. It is the most yang of all the seasons and is ruled by the fire. With the warm weather comes increased physical and social activity, as the fire element and energies are at their peak. Summer in TCM is the season associated with the heart (yin) and the small intestine (yang). The colour is red, the emotion joy, and it is a time for growth, expansion, light, abundance and is the manifestation of all we have been cultivating throughout the spring.
The focus on this session will therefore be on balancing/restoring the heart qi (energy). The heart sets the rhythm in life.
In our session we will be ‘smiling from the heart’. It is said to have profound physiological effects that help promote the flow of qi and blood in our bodies. The soothing and contemplative practice of Yin Yoga invites us to balance this outward focus with an inward glance. In this gentle practice, we focus on the heart and large intestine meridians that run along the chest cavity as well as along the inner and outer arms. Consider this an invitation to slow down and surrender to the joy of the present moment with an exploration of heart openers, upper back and shoulder stretches so that you can walk through life with an open heart that beams its bright light forward guiding you on your way.
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 calming and soothing beverage (Choice of a Tonemade bone broth or chamomile tea) and a cooling platter of seasonal fruits.
Limited spaces available due to current restrictions so be sure to book so you don’t miss out!
