Ground the Seasonal Body for Autumn

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Autumn is associated with the Lungs (肺, Fèi), which govern the breath, regulate Qi (energy), and are seen as the "Minister" of communication and boundary.

 

The Lungs help us take in the new and release the old, supporting both physical and emotional purification.

 

According to TCM, the emotion connected to the Lungs is grief and sadness.

 

When Lung energy is imbalanced, we may feel sorrowful, heavy-hearted, or have trouble letting go.

​

When balanced, we feel resilient, present, and able to breathe deeply into life’s transitions.

​

Join me for a deliciously grounding afternoon of Yin Yoga to create harmony with the earth's cycle of Autumn

 

According to Chinese Medicine, Autumn is a time to harvest our energies after the Summer growth cycle.

​

This workshop offers practices aligned with Autumn’s sacred invitation to pause, reflect, and turn inward — to attune to the quiet wisdom within and honor the soul’s longing to slow down and simply be.

​

When the energy of the Autumn body is out of balance, we may feel waves of grief, lingering sadness, or resistance to letting go. In balance, however, this season brings a deep sense of presence, emotional resilience, and the spacious breath needed to move gradually through life's transitions. â€‹

 

This 2 hour mini-retreat includes: 

​​

  • Yin yoga sequences lovingly curated to stimulate the Kidneys to recharge our vitality, and the Lungs to hold and process any despair and sadness

  • Guided pranayama (breathwork) & meditation

  • Psycho-Spiritual inquiry to reveal where you might be holding on and to explore letting go in your life

  • Restorative yoga to allow the body to metabolize the benefits of this deep practice

  • Sound Healing to offer vibrational frequencies that induce deep relaxation, helping to release stress and tension

 

Let’s set intention together for the Autumn. To emerge feeling grounded and enthusiastic, and to embrace all that the Season of Harvest has to offer​

​

All levels welcome.​
