As Autumn invites us to layer our favourite jumpers and woolly socks to stay cosy in the crisp, damp air, the trees have started to share their most magnificent autumn colour palette. Rusted reds, oranges and browns speckle the forests and hedgerows in the early morning mist and clouds roll in frequently to say hello. The nights begin to draw in ever sooner, hungry to cocoon us under the inky canopy of stars as we huddle by fires or under the soft glow of lamps, busy with the everyday.

​

Amidst all of the autumnal activity, this is your invitation to pause and create space to tend to your needs. To create an end of week ritual to process the week gone by, release tension from the physical body and bolster your emotional and mental inner landscape, too. Every Friday evening we will gather to share an extended yin yoga session together, comprising of breath, different postures, stillness, intention, contemplation. Spacious, slow and meditative, the emphasis will be on loving curiosity, within the shapes, rest and re calibration for all of your being.

​

For the first 3 weeks we'll cast our focus on nurturing the lung and large intestine meridians or channels, through long held seated and lying poses, staying close to the earth and using props like blankets, cushions and blocks for support. Autumn is concerned with sifting, sorting and space - letting go of what has been to create room for your future. 

For the latter 3 weeks as autumn becomes winter our inner attention will gently shift to supporting the kidneys. Known in TCM as mansion of fire and water, the health of the kidneys is the foundation for the wellness of all the other organs, and we will tend to them with postures, breath and a compassionate loving awareness.
