Winter solstice brings with it the the return of the sun and longer days, as well as the official onset of winter in the Northern Hemisphere. We also welcome the Water Element, a time of deep rest, replenishment, mystery, transformation and dreaming. The seeds are sleeping, turning over in their beds under a snowy blanket, while the sun comes to visit for a little bit longer each day.
This winter, Living Maps is pleased to offer an 8 week yoga series designed to support us on our wintery watery journey. Our practice will honour this time of sacred rest and dreaming with yin yoga, guided meditation, essential oils and acu-points, while also supporting our inner spark, with a warming yang sequence based around variations on the sun salutation and heart opening back bends. This is the perfect balanced practice to support both the yin and the yang; the need for rest and mystery, as well as warmth, connection and movement. There will be a focus on the Kidney and Bladder Meridians, lower back health, the heart and the circulation system.
This practice is open to all levels and different modifications will be offered for beginner, intermediate or advanced.
There is something for everyone in this series.
We will also be working with the moon phases, and learning acu-points and essential oil combinations to support winter wellness. This session we will be working with rose and balsam fir essential oils.
