🌊☀️OKIDO WINTER YOGA INTENSIVE - STARTING TOMORROW MON 27 JUNE☀️🌊

🌸 it’s still fine to join…!
The online Winter Yoga Intensive will take a dive into the Water Element (Kidney-Bladder meridians) from a yoga and self-healing perspective. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Kidneys are the source and foundation of life. They store the essential energy or Jing, regulate essential fluids and absorb chi. Kidney Yang brings warmth to the body and Kidney Yin nourishes everything in the body, like water. Just as flowers need water and sunshine to flourish, so too does the body require a balance of Kidney Yin and Yang.

Activities in the Winter Intensive will include yoga asana, meridian work, medical qigong, affirmations & visualisation, stick yoga, hogushi self-message, key acu points and lifestyle tips. Build vitality, motivation and confidence to carry you through the Winter months.

Practice from the convenience and warmth of home and save on travel time and fuel costs too! Two weeks of early morning yoga can create a real shift in energy and provide a foundation for ongoing wellbeing. Starting Monday 27 June, 6-7am, all welcome. Attend live or receive the recording.
