Winter
The peak of Yin energy.
Cool. Dark. Slow. Still. Restful. Receiving. Replenish.
As nature turns inwards in the cool winter months, Traditional Chinese Medicine invites us to mirror this in our choices. Earlier nights, more rest, easeful exercise, quiet moments, opportunities for solitude, healing practices and plenty of warm nourishing food and drinks.
The organ systems associated with Winter is the Kidneys and Bladder. The Kidneys correlate to our adrenal energy, our bones and the deepest essence of our physical body. The Bladder meridian lines are linked to the connective tissue that runs from head to toe. Often a source of tension, restriction, limitation and pain.
◊ Yin yoga is a wonderful way to teach the body and the mind to slow down. It is in this state of rest and relaxation that the tissues start to soften and the breath begins to deepen. Connecting to your body in a new way is where the medicine of Yin takes place. A floor based practice suitable for all abilities where you are guided into postures that are held for 3 to 5 minutes. Props are used throughout for extra support.
◊ Acupuncture points are selected to support the theme of the day and are gently placed during your final relaxation pose.
◊ Sound healing has been used for millenia in cultures around the world, where they have long known the benefits of frequency medicine. The shifts and changes that take place in the body are truly transformational. The vibration of gongs and the potent resonance of the didgeridoo washing over you transports you to another time and place. The sweet harmonics of crystal singing bowls is a beautiful and bliss inducing experience.
Laura and Francis are excited to collaborate again with a combination of their favourite healing modalities. Two experienced practitioners offering a unique opportunity for you to experience these ancient and powerful therapies. Medicine for mind, body and soul. Rest and Reset.
