"The trees are about to show us how beautiful it is to let go”
According to TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), every season is imbued with its own wisdom to share with us how to live in accordance with the laws of nature. The autumn season encourages us to reflect on and enhance our self-care practices. As nature has transitioned from yang to yin, you are encouraged to draw inward, conserve energy and soothe your soul. During this season, you will learn to work with the element of metal exploring the meridians of the lungs and large intestine to connect with the concept of discernment on and off the mat.
This workshop has been designed to re-awaken you to the ancient art of healing and promote optimal health and wellbeing drawn from the knowledge of Yoga, TCM and Ayurveda. The practices you’ll learn during this workshop will help you to integrate self-care rituals that feel good into your daily routine (dinacharya), help stimulate your immune system, and inspire a sense of stability, balance and peace in mind, body and spirit.

“The heat of autumn / is different from the heat of summer / One ripens apples, the other turns them to cider” Jane Hirshfield in her poem The Heat of Autumn.
