Are you seeking to cultivate a deeper sense of joy, peace, and fulfilment? Join senior teacher Lisa Matthews for a transformative three-hour Yin Yoga workshop where we'll explore the wellspring of joy that resides within us all.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the summer season is associated with the Fire Element, embodying qualities of vitality and passion. Through this practice, we'll learn how to harness these beautiful, positive qualities without overstimulating our internal energy during the warmer days of summer. You'll discover techniques to channel the power of your breath and cultivate a sense of tranquility and balance within both body and mind.
Guided through gentle somatic movements and a carefully curated series of Yin Yoga postures, you'll open energetic blockages and release tension stored deep within the body. Complemented by guided meditation, mudra, and pranayama practices, we'll connect with the wisdom of the heart—the sacred hub of our inner landscape.
Yoga philosophy introduces us to The Hridaya, or Spiritual Heart—the seat of generosity, compassion, and unconditional love. Translating to 'that which gives and takes in balance', we'll explore themes of reciprocity and equanimity through the subtle lens of Yin Yoga.
This workshop welcomes students of all levels, whether you're new to Yin Yoga or have an established practice. If you long for an opportunity to slow down, turn inward, and experience the transformative power of Yin Yoga, please join us!
When: Saturday 15 February from 1.30 - 4.30pm
Venue: Seed Yoga, 1A Salisbury Ave, Blackburn (In studio event)
