Autumn Equinox Yoga Workshop

Autumn Equinox

Day and night/Light and dark are equal. 

This can represent the light and dark in ourselves.

Equinox is a transition period, the death part of the cycle, a time to let go; like the trees let go of their leaves.

We are moving into the yin part of the yearly cycle. A good time for self reflection, meditation, journaling, settling into yourself.

This is a time to acknowledge our prosperity and give gratitude for the abundance of the offerings from the summer, honouring the harvest and casting off all that no longer serves us ready for the more quiet internal time of the winter.

​

What to expect in the workshop:

We will practice pranayama, some gentle yang yoga moving into a yin yoga phase, closing with a 25 minute Yoga Nidra meditation to complete the session.

​

We will begin with a series of pranayama to help to balance the prana/energy and nervous system.

Then moving into a gentle flow, with a focus on shoulder, neckand spine release, to help us to let go of what no longer serves us. 

We will then move into a yin we create acupressure; the focus in this workshop is to balance the seasonal meridians of the late summer: the stomach and spleen and the autumn meridians: the lung and large intestine.

Closing with a yoga nidra during which we can really embed our intentions and totally relax.
