Just before the year turns, there is a sacred pause where the noise settles, the dust lands, and we are invited to truly reflect on what the year has meant. In 2025 we have been journeying through the Year of the Snake , a cycle of shedding skins, dissolving what is outdated, releasing old identities, and meeting the deeper truths that sit beneath the surface. Before we step into the Year of the Horse, with its momentum, vitality and forward movement, we need time to exhale, to listen, to honour what we have walked through, and consciously lay down what no longer serves.
This is not a space for resolutions or pressure, but for clarity, embodiment and deep presence. Snake teaches us to shed. Horse invites us to move into action. This workshop sits in the quiet doorway between the two.
In this spacious and soulful workshop with Lisa Allwell, you’ll be guided through a powerful blend of yogic and contemplative practices designed to help you transition with awareness and intention.
What to expect:
Gentle, intuitive movement to release stored tension and soften what has been holding you back physically, emotionally and energetically.
A powerful 24-minute breath practice to ignite clarity, expand inner vision and reconnect you with your deepest knowing.
Guided reflection practices to explore what you are ready to shed as you complete the Snake year, and what strengths, values and inner truths you want to carry forward as you enter the Horse year with purpose.
Clarity-focused intention-setting rituals that feel grounded, embodied and free from the pressure of traditional resolutions.
A deeply grounding closing meditation to seal your insights and intentions into the body and subtle field.
Ceremonial touches and little surprises to mark the moment and make the transition feel memorable and sacred.
Expect to leave feeling clearer, lighter and deeply connected to the path before you — as though you’ve shed an old layer and stepped into a more aligned stride. This workshop is a beautiful way to close the year with gratitude and consciousness and to welcome the next with spaciousness, trust, steadiness and forward-moving momentum.
This workshop is only for students with an unlimited membership. There is no cost to attend.
When: Tuesday 30 December from 3.00-5.00pm
Where: In studio at Seed Yoga, 1A salisbury Ave, Blackburn
