According to the Chinese zodiac, the Year of the Snake is only just drawing to a close (Feb 17). 🐍
This final window invites us to honour one of the Snake’s core teachings:
the wisdom of shedding.
What once protected us can, over time, become restrictive — in the body, the mind, or our lives. Letting go is rarely dramatic. Often it’s quiet, practical, and deeply human.
Over the coming days, shedding might look like:
• clearing out a stagnant cupboard or drawer
• donating clothes that no longer feel like you
• finishing something that’s run its course
• allowing an old pattern to soften and fall away
In Chinese medicine, the energy of letting go is linked to the lungs, skin, and large intestine — the metal element. During periods of release, it’s normal to feel a little more vulnerable. Fatigue, grief, or lowered immunity can arise as the system reorganises and your “new skin” hasn’t quite grown in yet.
So go gently.
Rest more. Breathe deeply. Keep yourself warm and supported.
Our classes over the next couple of weeks will be held with this in mind — offering grounding movement, breath, and rest to support this process.
You’re warmly invited to join us on the mat.
