WINTER
Join us as we work with Winter: a wild, wooly and often challenging and misunderstood time for many of us. And welcome to its purpose, the cultivation of the Yin in you, the dark, the moon, the womb, the depth, the Still.
Winter is the Apex of the seasonal cycle, the gestation of the year's work. It is an essential and potent time of Restoration, Insight and Embodiment; of warmth, growth, quiet, reflection, balancing, slower cadence and self-care. In the Chinese System it is the season of Kidney. Our waters, the officials of the body, the storehouse of our qi/life force, your longevity, safety, vitality, equilibrium, willpower and Your ability to simply Be and that's just a spec of it :)! Lets use our time and selves together well and take best advantage of this season's purpose, intelligence, medicine and magic. The greater the external darkness, the greater the internal light.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Together we will stoke our fires, kick our own butts and soothe our souls. We will engage in a rigorous practice whose aim is designed to have Your Roots be founded, grounded and known to you, we'll move into longevity + restorative work, tending to our kidneys and our chemistry, then culminate in a full pranayama practice, as lungs feed kidneys and gracefully slip into well earned Led Quiet, depth, silence.
Winter engenders reflection, it is an opportunity to remember, refine, reclaim. It is the Growing ground that spawns the quality and sense ability of the Self that you will birth in Spring.
Cant wait to see you guys again!
