Join us this Autumn Equinox to embrace this time of balance, of equal light and dark, which preceeds the nights growing longer.
Qigong will help cleanse stagnant energy, bringing in vitalising new energy, and circulating it around the body and restorative yoga will help you soften and relax into this beautiful state of being. In Qigong, Autumn expresses the metal element and the lungs, so the best practices will be chosen to cultivate this. In Restorative Yoga, we will emphasise the 'letting go' and surrender of our body to this time of increasing feminine / yin energy.
Since Autumn Equinox is Nature's harvest we will take a little time to give thanks our own growth and allow time for our consciousness to shift towards this period of increasing darkness and release to come. The Yin to Spring's Yang.
There is an option for some hands-off Reiki to be received during your Restorative poses if you'd like (with yes/no cards just placed at the top or bottom of your mat as you relax).
Journalling options will also be offered as we will look back over the last 6 months briefly (and your previous intentions if you set them in our Spring Equinox event) with themes / questions given to you in advance before the day. This aspect of the event is to help you deepen your own self-awareness and, as always, is your own choice as to whether you'd like to partake.
Autumn Equinox - Qigong, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra & Soundbath
Bring along 2 blankets (one as a cushion for your head and one for your body) and a yoga mat (let us know in advance if you don't have a mat). Bolsters will be provided but please do bring your own if you prefer.
Bring a journal or some paper and a pen if you'd like to connect more deeply to the practice but feel free to just absorb with your body alone if you'd prefer.
