As we enter Autumn, we harvest the growth of Spring and Summer, and like the trees, bring our energy inward to lighten up and release old ‘leaves’, which we no longer need.

Schedule

10am - 11am Scaravelli Inspired Yoga

11:30am - 1:30pm Intuition Workshop with QiGong & Meditation

Autumn is the most potent season for intuition and vision and associated with the Metal Element in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).  In this workshop we are to focus on rejuvenating and invigorating the Organs and Meridians (energy channels) of the Metal Element - the Lungs and Intestines and the transmutation of their negative emotional characteristics.

The Metal energy of Autumn is an expression of new Yin.  We will balance the Yin nature of the gentle cleansing asana stretches and breathwork with complementary Yang practices, whilst using meditation, journeying and deep inward listening to open to our intuitive gifts.


The way to do Yoga is for it to be relaxing, without the slightest effort. Going with the wave, with the movement, with the breath…. Without strain, from an “intelligent heart”.
