Welcome Spring!
Our next 6-week online yoga series starts as we celebrate the arrival of the Spring Equinox! This is a time on the wheel of the year where there is a balance of light and dark, yin and yang, inward turning, dreaming and contemplative energy, balanced with the growth and expansion of new life. While the seeds begin the process of germination and the caterpillars gestate in their cocoons, in these early days of spring, our practice will focus on nourishing the most yin parts of our body as well: the joints, tendons and ligaments while also preparing the body for growth and expansion by cleansing out winter stagnation.
With a focus on twisting, cleansing the liver through meridian stretches essential oils, acupoints, breathwork and guided visualizations, our practice aims to re-invigorate and open the body after a season of contraction and rest.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the spring season is associated with the Wood element, and with the Liver and Gallbladder organs; they regulate vision, menstrual health, our emotional balance, sleep, digestion, energy and sleep and most importantly our ability to be both strong and flexible and to be able to go with the flow of life.
The spirit of the wood element is the Hun: The Free and Easy Wanderer, who travels between the eyes, the liver and the dream realm, to help us connect to a vision for our lives and dreams, putting together plans and blueprints, and implementing the architecture and infrastructure to achieve these dreams in the material realm.
