Breaking the Ice: Spring Yoga and the Wood Element


A six-week yoga series to transition our body, mind and spirit into the spring season with flow.

This session we will work with a gentle flowing series of twists, hip openers and shoulder releases, \ to bring the liver and gallbladder meridians associated with the Wood Element into balance. We will work with a few key essential oils for the Wood element, as well as guided meditations and an introduction the Hun, the spirit aspect of the Wood Element known as the Free and Easy Wanderer.

Though the official arrival of the spring season on March 21st arrived with the Spring Equinox, this time of year in the northern hemisphere is often characterized by a choppy quality as we fluctuate between winter’s holding pattern and springs great rushing energy.

This upward rushing spring energy is related to the Wood Element in Traditional Chinese, and likes to be in a state of unimpeded flow. The wood element is also related to the flow of energy in our own bodies. When this flow of energy is blocked or constrained through stress, anger, unexpressed, unprocessed emotions, and lack of physical exercise, the flow of Wood energy in the body can result in mood swings, frustration, physical pain, headaches, PMS, depression and poor sleep quality.

When wood energy is flowing, we are connected to our dreams and creativity, we can start to put plans into action, we feel inspired, energized , we can express our emotions and ideas freely and we can stand up for justice and the things that matter.
