Embrace the fullness and aliveness of early summer with this five-week Yin Yoga series.

This 5-week summer series will help you balancing the fire element within – the energy of summer in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). 

This energy is symbolic of maximum activity or greatest yang, which means that it is a time of heat, outgoingness, and moving outward in nature and in our lives.

In human anatomy, the heart, mind, and spirit are ruled by the fire element, called ‘Shen’. 

This all-levels Yin Yoga practice will focus on the heart and small intestine meridian, the two pathways related to ensure your fire energy is balanced – so you can feel all the good vibes of summer; joy, fun, and inspiratoin according to TCM and not manic and anxious when this energy is out of balance

The Yin Yoga practice on offer is a very gentle all-levels class for even those new to yoga, nursing injuries, or pre-post natel, with modifications and props offered. You will be held in a supportive, welcoming space for your 75 minute Yin practice and its natural, therapeutic, and nourishing affects.

Acessible and mindful breath and meditation practices will be weaved in either side of the Yin practice to support your connection to Self and return to wholeness.
