Yin yoga and the 5 elements
Daoist philosophy invites us to live with the rhythms of nature, where each element and season offer an opportunity to harness the qualities of that moment.
We will explore harmony with the seasons of nature, the seasons of each day as we transition from the yang of morning to the yin of evening and the seasons of our lives as we move from the yang of youth to the yin of maturity and wisdom. Each phase offers us the opportunity to regulate and cultivate a relationship of harmony and wellbeing between the world outside us and within us.
This workshop is open to everyone; general yoga practitioners, yin afficionados, yin teachers who want to explore the integration of the elements into daily life and anyone with a genuine interest in exploring their wellbeing. Each workshop will run on a Sunday from 3-5:30pm and match the season we are in.
